Prime Steam-Dried Fishmeal 65% Protein

Description

1. Product Overview

Prime Steam-Dried Fishmeal (65% Protein) is a high-concentration protein ingredient produced from fresh or frozen whole fish via controlled steam cooking and pressing. It is primarily used in premium animal feed, especially for shrimp, salmon, weanling pigs, and broiler starters, where digestible amino acids are critical. The key value proposition is its consistent protein level (min. 65%) and low histamine profile, ensuring feed safety and conversion efficiency. With global pressure on marine resources, this product offers a strategic balance of sustainability and nutritional density, making it essential for formulators seeking predictable performance.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Crude protein (min. 65%), crude fat (max. 10%), moisture (max. 10%), ash (max. 18%), salt (max. 3%), sand/silica (max. 1.5%)

• Purity/quality level: Low biogenic amines (histamine <500 ppm), TVN <120 mg/100g, no added antioxidants unless specified

• Physical characteristics: Fine, free-flowing powder; light to medium brown color; particle size 95% through 2mm sieve; bulk density 0.55–0.65 g/cm³

• Packaging options: 50 kg multi-wall kraft/PP bags; 1 MT big bags; or bulk in container liners

• Shelf life: 12 months when stored in cool (<25°C), dry (<70% RH) conditions away from direct sunlight

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Aquaculture (shrimp, salmon, marine fish): Used at 15–35% of diet to enhance growth rate and feed conversion ratio (FCR) — superior to plant proteins due to optimal methionine and lysine profile.

• Swine (weanling and nursery stages): Added at 5–10% to reduce post-weaning diarrhea and improve palatability — outperforms soybean meal because of higher digestible phosphorus and absence of antinutritional factors.

• Poultry (broiler starters): Formulated at 2–5% for early feathering and uniform weight gain — cost advantage comes from faster absorption, reducing total feed required per kg of live weight gain.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Each batch tested for protein, fat, moisture, ash, TVN, histamine, and biogenic amines — ISO 17025-certified lab reports included.

• Supply reliability: Year-round production from managed fisheries and farmed trimmings; buffer stock maintained across three regional warehouses.

• Logistics capability: Door-to-door CIF, CFR, or FOB delivery; real-time tracking via digital platform.

• Price competitiveness: Direct sourcing eliminates trader margins; volume-based discounts for contracts above 500 MT annually.

• Sustainability: Sourced from FDA- and EU-compliant by-product reduction facilities; no IUU fishing; MarinTrust (formerly IFFO RS) certification available.

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 20 MT (bulk)

• Loading capacity: 20 MT per 20-foot standard container (stacked bagged), or 24–26 MT per container with liner bulk option
