Fish Meal
Product Description
Fish meal is a high-protein feed ingredient made from whole fish or fish by-products that are cooked, pressed, dried, and ground into a fine powder or meal. It is widely used in animal feed, particularly for aquaculture, poultry, and livestock, due to its excellent nutritional profile. Fish meal is rich in high-quality protein, essential amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins (such as B12 and D), and minerals (such as calcium, phosphorus, and iodine).
The raw materials used can include small, oily fish like anchovies, sardines, or mackerel, as well as trimmings from fish processing. The quality and nutrient composition of fish meal depend on the species of fish and the production process. It is highly digestible and serves as a concentrated source of energy and nutrients, making it a critical component in the diets of farmed animals and aquaculture species.
Fish meal production is regulated to ensure sustainability and minimize environmental impact.
