February 26, 2024 – Cooper Farms, a family-owned and vertically integrated farm based in St Henry, Ohio, is now offering human-grade turkey ingredients for the petfood market. Sourced from turkeys raised by family farmers, these ingredients meet the demand for sustainable protein in pet foods.
The venture began five years ago when a major petfood manufacturer approached Cooper Farms seeking specialised giblet blend ingredients, including natural proportions of livers, hearts and gizzards. In response, Cooper Farms’ engineering team quickly designed equipment to meet these specifications.
The product range includes Mechanically Separated Turkey (MST), giblets (hearts and livers), thigh trim, boneless, skinless wing meat, turkey skin, neck meat, breast meat and tendon straps. Products are typically shipped fresh in 2000lb combos, but frozen options are available when necessary. Cooper Farms invites customers to tour its plant to witness the ingredient production process, fostering open collaboration and inspiring new product concepts.
