AMENDMENT 3 TO SCHEDULE 13G
     This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13G is being filed on behalf of EagleRock Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“EagleRock”), and Mr. Nader Tavakoli, the principal of EagleRock, relating to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”) of Darling International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), purchased by EagleRock for the account of EagleRock Master Fund, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“EagleRock Master Fund”), and EagleRock Institutional Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“ERIP”).
     Mariel Capital Management, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (an affiliate of EagleRock and Mr. Tavakoli) which served as agent and attorney-in-fact to EagleRock Master Fund, ERIP and Mr. Tavakoli, previously reported beneficial ownership of shares of the Issuer on Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13G on February 15, 2005. EagleRock acts as investment manager to EagleRock Master Fund and ERIP, and Mr. Tavakoli, as manager of EagleRock, controls the investment decisions of EagleRock.
Item 4   Ownership.
      Item 4 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
  (a)   EagleRock is the beneficial owner of 3,226,605 shares of Common Stock and Mr. Tavakoli is the beneficial owner of 3,358,679 shares of Common Stock.
 
  (b)   EagleRock is the beneficial owner of 5.0% of the outstanding shares of Commons Stock, and Mr. Tavakoli is the beneficial owner of 5.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. These percentages are determined by dividing the number of shares beneficially held by the reporting persons, by 64,437,410, the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of November 03, 2005, as reported in the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed November 10, 2004.
 
  (c)   EagleRock, as the investment manager of EagleRock Master Fund and ERIP, has the sole power to vote and dispose of the 3,226,605 shares of Common Stock held by EagleRock Master Fund and ERIP. As the principal of EagleRock, Mr. Tavakoli may direct the vote and disposition of the 3,226,605 shares of Common Stock held by EagleRock Master Fund and ERIP. In addition, Mr. Tavakoli may direct the vote and disposition of the 132,074 shares of Common Stock held by him individually.

      The filing of this Schedule 13G shall not be construed as an admission that EagleRock or Mr. Tavakoli is for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the beneficial owner of any of the 3,226,605 shares of Common Stock owned by EagleRock Master Fund or ERIP. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, each of EagleRock and Mr. Tavakoli disclaims all such beneficial ownership.
