Steam Dried Fish Meal is a powder obtained after cooking, pressing, drying and milling. It is produced from harvesting of small pelagic fish and dark muscle. These fish have short life cycles and are capable of rapid reproduction and stock replenishment. While they have been major ingredients of swine and poultry feeds for many decades, a growing percentage of these resources have been used to manufacture aquatic feeds. This is due to the worldwide growth of aquaculture over the past two decades.
Protein is key to growth and steam dried fish meal is among the best available ingredients for protein. Steam Dried Fish Meal is a rich source of a range of micronutrients important for farmed fish and animal health. Those micronutrients include both vitamins and minerals. In terms of minerals, calcium and phosphorus are both present in high concentrations.
