Making iron bolts is also a good way to level Weaponsmithing.  You aren't stuck with a bunch of -iron short swords- getting in the way.

You can maximize the number of bones each animal can produce by dropping the animal 10 levels of more, so that it explodes on impact.

The main corpse will have the usual number of bones, and every body part will rot into an extra bone. Thus, you can turn a dog from the usual 25 bolts into about 50 bolts.

Generally, I make training bolts from the bones of invaders. Goblin bone is plentiful.

Just be sure to set the Dwarfs to be able to collect refuse outside.

Bones period are useful.
In the beginning of my latest fortress, I got swarmed by 8 mountain gnomes immediately. They were all raped but they stole some of my booze.
Then my craftsdwarf goes into a fey mood and makes a weapon rack worth 7200$. Out of mountain gnome bone.
YEEEAAAAAAHHH.
