Feed-grade fish meal (65% protein)

Description

1. Product Overview
This is a high-protein feed-grade fish meal derived from fresh wild-caught small pelagic fish, processed via low-temperature pressing to preserve essential amino acids. It serves as the primary protein source in aquafeeds, swine, and poultry rations, directly supporting growth efficiency and feed conversion ratios. Its strategic value lies in replacing volatile plant proteins with a consistent, bioavailable animal protein that reduces total formulation costs per ton of gain.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Crude protein: 65% min (N×6.25)

• Moisture: 10% max

• Lipids (ether extract): ≤10%

• Ash: ≤18%

• Salt (NaCl): ≤3%

• Sand/silica insoluble in HCl: ≤2%

• TVN (total volatile nitrogen): ≤120 mg/100g

• Histamine: ≤500 ppm

• Physical form: Fine, free-flowing powder (100% passing 2mm sieve)

• Color: Uniform brownish-tan, characteristic of marine origin

• Packaging options: 40–50 kg multi-wall kraft paper bags (palletized, shrink-wrapped) OR 1,000–1,200 kg bulk PP woven sling bags

• Shelf life: 12 months from production (store in dry, ventilated conditions <25°C)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Aquafeed (salmon, shrimp, tilapia, marine fish): Used at 15–40% inclusion to meet methionine and lysine requirements; outperforms soybean meal by reducing antinutritional factors and improving palatability.

• Swine starter and weaner diets: Enhances intestinal development and daily weight gain; superior to plant proteins due to lower lectin content and higher digestibility.

• Poultry (broilers, layers): Boosts feathering and egg mass in high-density formulations; cost-efficient alternative to synthetic amino acid blends in late-stage finishing.

• Pet food and specialty animal nutrition: Provides natural umami profile and consistent protein binding for extruded kibble.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Every batch is third-party tested for protein, histamine, and ash – with COA provided prior to shipment.

• Supply reliability: Year-round availability via fixed harvesting quotas from Peruvian and Nordic fisheries, backed by 5,000 MT on-hand inventory.

• Logistics capability: In-house bagging and fumigation; delivers from origin to major ports (Shanghai, Rotterdam, Houston, Santos) within 21 days.

• Price competitiveness: Direct mill-to-buyer model removes trading markups; pricing formula linked to FAO fishmeal index + fixed premium.

• Sustainability & compliance: MSC-compliant raw material and EU 2017/893 certification for non-ruminant feeds.
