FISH MEAL
Fish meal is a commercial product made from both whole fish and the bones and offal from processed fish. It is a brown powder or cake obtained by rendering pressing the cooked whole fish or fish trimmings to remove most of the fish oil and water, and then ground. What remains is the "fishmeal".
Fishmeal is a nutrient-rich and high protein supplement feed ingredient used primarily in diets for domestic animals and sometimes used as a high-quality organic fertilizer.
RAW MATERIALS USED
Fish meal can be made from almost any type of seafood but is generally manufactured from wild-caught, a small marine fish that contain a high percentage of bones and oil, and is usually deemed not suitable for direct human consumption. The fish caught for fishmeal purposes solely are termed "industrial". Other source of fishmeal is from by-catch of other fisheries and by-products of trimmings made during processing (fish waste or offal) of various seafood products destined for direct human consumption. Virtually any fish or shellfish in the sea can be used to make fishmeal, although there may be a few rare unexploited species, which would produce a poisonous meal. Fish meal produced by us is made on the scales as designed and prescribed by health regulatory authorities to make the end products as suitable as its in the natural habitat for our consumers.
