Fish Meal

Fish meal, or fishmeal and fish meal analogue, are commercial product made from fish and the bones and offal from processed fish. It is a brown powder or cake obtained by drying the fish or fish trimmings, often after cooking, and then grinding it.

Fishmeal is a nutrient-rich and high-protein supplement feed ingredient that stores well, and is used primarily in diets for poultry and domestic animals. The amino acid profile of fishmeal makes this feed ingredient attractive as a protein supplement. Fishmeal is sought after as an ingredient in aquaculture diets because it contains compounds that make the feed more palatable. This allows the feed to be ingested rapidly, and will reduce nutrient leaching.

It increases feed efficiency and growth through better feed palatability, and enhances nutrient uptake, digestion, and absorption. The balanced amino acid composition of fishmeal complements and provides synergistic effects with other animal and vegetable proteins in the diet to promote fast growth and reduce feeding costs.

High-quality fishmeal provides a balanced amount of all essential amino acids, phospholipids, and fatty acids required for optimum development, growth, and reproduction, especially of larvae and broodstock. The nutrients in fishmeal also aid in disease resistance by boosting and helping to maintain a healthy functional immune system.

Incorporation of fishmeal into diets of aquatic animals helps to reduce pollution from the wastewater effluent by providing greater nutrient digestibility.
