Harvesting Extracellular Vesicles from blood
03 July 2026
Focus area: Carcase Optimisation
Program stream: Advanced manufacturing
Project number: 2025-1073
Australian abattoir blood is worth far more than the blood meal it is rendered into, and this project set out to prove the higher-value route and establish what it takes to capture it.
Australian abattoir blood is worth far more than the blood meal it is rendered into, and this project set out to prove the higher-value route and establish what it takes to capture it.
The route runs through extracellular vesicles, a premium functional ingredient recovered from blood plasma and the project tested whether they can be recovered reliably and economically under real commercial conditions. They can.
