A method for producing a collagenous material in particle form, includes: extracting a collagen- and fat-containing animal raw material using an aqueous extraction solution; optionally separating at least one part of the aqueous phase from the extraction residue; separating the extraction residue into a collagenous solid phase, an aqueous phase, and a fat phase; mixing at least one part of the collagenous solid phase with at least one part of the aqueous phase; at least partly drying the mixed phases; and comminuting the dried phases in order to obtain the collagenous material in particle form.
