Fish Meal
Fish meal can be definedas a solid product obtained by removing most of the water and some or all ofthe oil from fish or fish waste. It is made by cooking, pressing, drying andgrinding of fish or fish waste. Four or five tonnes of fish are needed to manufacture one tonne of dryfishmeal. Fish meal is a nutrient-rich and high protein supplement feedingredient that stores well, and is used primarily in diets for domesticanimals, like poultry, pigs and farmed fish, and sometimes as a high-qualityorganic fertilizer.
.
Virtually any fish or shellfish can be used to make fish meal. The nutritionalvalue of proteins from vertebrate fish differs little from one species toanother. The species we choose is in large concentrations to give a high catchingrate, with a high fat content are more profitable(because the fat in fish isheld at the expense of water and not at the expense of protein).Besides, thetotal abundance of long lived species varies less from year to year.

Any complete dietmust contain some protein, but the nutritional value of the protein relatesdirectly to its amino acid composition and digestibility. The amino acidprofile of fishmeal is what makes this feed ingredient so attractive as a protein supplement. Our high-quality fishmeal contains no lowerthan 65% crude protein by weight. Another very important reason why fishmeal issought after as an ingredient in aquaculture diets is because it containscertain compounds that make the feed more acceptable and agreeable to thetaste. It is thought the non-essential amino acid glutamic acid is one of the compounds that imparts to fishmealits palatability.
Fishmeal is considered to be a moderately rich source of vitamins of theB-complex especially cobalamine (B12), niacin, choline, pantothenic acid, andriboflavin. Fishmeal in diets increase feed efficiency and growth throughbetter food palatability and enhances nutrient uptake, digestion andabsorption. The balanced amino acid composition of fishmeal complements andprovides synergistic effects with other animal and vegetable proteins in thediet to promote fast growth and reduce feeding costs.
High quality fishmeal provides a balanced amount of all essential amino aids,phospholipids and fatty acids required for optimum development, growth andreproduction especially of larvae and broodstock. Thenutrients in fishmeal also aid in disease resistance by boosting and helping tomaintain a healthy functional immune system. It also allows for formulation ofnutrient-dense diets, which promote optimal growth. Incorporation of fishmealinto diets of aquatic animals helps to reduce pollution from the waste watereffluent by providing greater nutrient digestibility.
