Blood Meal

Description

Product Overview
Blood Meal is a high-nitrogen, organic protein concentrate derived from fresh animal blood through industrial thermal drying and sterilization. Primarily used as a slow-release fertilizer and non-protein nitrogen (NPN) supplement in animal feed, it delivers a 12–0–0 nutrient profile and 85%+ crude protein content. Its strategic value lies in enabling high-value crop yields and ruminant growth rates while offering a cost-effective, low-dust alternative to synthetic nitrogen sources. In a market tightening on synthetic inputs, blood meal provides a traceable, circular bioresource for industrial agriculture.

Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Composition: Dried animal blood (bovine/porcine/ovine), 12% total nitrogen (N), ≥85% crude protein, ≤3% moisture

• Purity: Pathogen-free (ISO 22000/HACCP processed), heavy metals below EU 2019/1009 limits

• Physical form: Fine powder (90% passes 2mm mesh) or micronized granules; dark reddish-brown; bulk density 560–620 kg/m³

• Packaging options: 25kg multi-wall paper bags, 1MT super sacks, or pneumatic tanker bulk

• Shelf life: 24 months in dry, ventilated conditions (≤20% humidity, sealed from pests)

Core Industrial Applications

• Organic crop production: Pre-plant or side-dress application for corn, leafy greens, and turf—provides 2–3x slower nitrogen release than urea, reducing leachate losses by 40% vs ammonium nitrate.

• Ruminant feed compounding: As a NPN source for beef and dairy rations (max 5% inclusion); outperforms feather meal with superior amino acid availability (lysine 7.2%).

• Biostimulant blending: Mixed with molasses or humic acids for soil microbial activation—cuts synthetic fertilizer costs by ~18–22% per hectare in high-value row crops.

• Cost advantage: Lower price per delivered nitrogen unit than feather meal or fish meal in bulk orders, with zero anti-nutritional factors when heat-treated.

Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Batch-to-batch CV <3% for nitrogen and protein, backed by ISO 17025 lab certificates included with every shipment.

• Supply reliability: Multi-species sourcing (bovine/porcine/ovine) across 6 USDA/FDA-approved facilities, 99.3% on-time delivery over 24 months.

• Logistics capability: Export-ready vacuum-sealed packaging prevents caking; bagged loads fit 26 pallets/40HC container.

• Price competitiveness: Landed cost 8–12% below European and South American equivalents on FOB/CIF terms for orders ≥100MT.

• Sustainability: Carbon-negative footprint (−0.6 kg CO2e/kg) under PAS 2050 due to valorized slaughterhouse byproduct; full traceability to approved abattoirs.

• Technical support: On-call agronomist and feed formulation modeling provided for contract clients.

Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): BULK 20MT (loose in pneumatic tanker or 800 x 25kg bags)

• Loading capacity: 20MT per 20FT container (1,000 x 25kg bags, palletized); 26MT per 40HC container (1,040 bags or 26 x 1MT super sacks)
