Giving Every Egg a Purpose.

Across the food industry, eggs are cracked by the millions during the holiday season. Bakers rely on yolks for richness and color, but the rest of the egg holds tremendous value.

At Cereal Byproducts, we ensure those resources stay in circulation. Our work turns overlooked egg components into reliable protein and mineral sources that support livestock nutrition, feed mills, and long-term soil health. It’s a practical, efficient way to reduce waste while strengthening agricultural systems.

High-Value Protein From Egg Whites

After yolks are separated for baking, egg whites remain as a clean and highly digestible protein source. We dry and convert these whites into powders used in:

  • Performance-oriented nutrition blends

  • Specialty formulations that require balanced amino acids

With strong levels of lysine, methionine, and branched-chain amino acids, dried egg white powders help support daily gains, immune function, and overall feed efficiency.

Rejected Eggs With Real Nutritional Impact

Eggs that don’t make it to retail. (cracked, misshapen, or blemished) are processed into nutrient-dense feed ingredients instead of going to waste. These powders deliver:

  • Consistent protein quality

  • High digestibility

  • A dependable nutritional profile

Eggshells: A Natural Mineral Resource for Soil Health

Eggshells are rich in calcium carbonate, contributing directly to soil structure and plant resilience. After grinding and sterilizing, we produce:

  • Calcium-rich fertilizers

  • Natural mineral supplements

  • Soil-friendly amendments for pH management

These inputs help improve root development and soil balance, while reducing reliance on synthetic minerals.

Why Closing the Loop Matters for Farmers

Repurposing egg byproducts isn’t just environmental stewardship, it’s strategic:

  • More stable, cost-effective nutritional inputs

  • Natural soil amendments with long-term value

  • A supply chain that wastes less and delivers more

What begins in food manufacturing comes full circle to sustain the next generation in production.

Built on Byproducts. Focused on Practical Value.

At Cereal Byproducts, we turn what others overlook into valuable resources. From protein-rich feed ingredients to calcium-rich soil supplements, every part of the egg serves a purpose.

Where others see waste, we see potential, and we're committed to putting that potential to work.
