    There years, there were many changes in the poultry production sector. Among the segments of the food industry, the chicken was the most experienced technological change worldwide. In the field of breeding birds, the sector showed significant gains in conversion rates, reduced production cycle and higher yield of carcasses, over the slaughter process, the industry entered a higher degree of automation.

   The factor that most influences is the age of the chicken because there is a limit to the feed, which are slaughtered between 25 and 45 days old, as market or product to be produced. According to the Brazilian Association of Chicken Producers and Exporters Association, ABEF, Brazil was, in 2001, second place among the world's largest producers of chicken. And started that time several alternative energy for Brazil, and one of then is the production of biodiesel from vegetable oils and fats or animals. Brazil has a significant competitive advantage in the production of biodiesel renewable fuel, since any country has the minimum conditions for the cultivation of oilseeds.

   The Brazilian production of poultry meat is concentrated in the southern region, which represents 55.81% of production, with the state of Paraná a leading position, accounting for 27% of Brazilian production.

   Animal fats are generally classified as tallow, fats that have been solid at room temperature, given their percentage composition is high in saturated fatty acids, mainly stearic acid. The fat of chickens, except oil are classified as chicken, also because of its percentage composition in this case with low stearic acid, staying close to oils such as soybean, performing in liquid at room temperature, facilitating the transesterification reaction.

   Since Brazil is one of the largest producers of chicken meat, the State of Parana, largely responsible for this production in the country, and increasing production by cooperatives in the region, appeared, then the idea of taking advantage of the fat from supply chain, oil is not edible offal of poultry for use as fuel. Besides being used also for animal feed and the manufacture of soaps.
