The invention relates to a method for producing a collagenous material in particle form, having the following steps: - extracting a collagen- and fat-containing raw animal 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 collagen-containing solid phase, an aqueous phase, and a fat phase: - mixing at least one part of the collagen-containing 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.
