Fish Meal
New Products From This Supplier
Indirect steam dried at low temperatures it is processed from responsible sourced whole fish and trimmings (predominantly blue whiting, boar fish, mackerel and mackerel trimmings). It has superior nutritional qualities when compared to most standard fishmeals which make it a high value product. Contains a natural antioxidant, low in moisture content, high in digestible amino acids, typically 92% digestibility. Lower processing temperatures allow for better amino acid availability.
It is a brown powder obtained by drying the fish or fish trimmings, often after cooking, and then grinding it. If it is a fatty fish it is also pressed to extract most of the fish oil.
