Fish meal is a nutrient-rich, high-protein powder obtained by processing whole fish or fish by-products, primarily used as an ingredient in animal feed. It is widely utilized in aquaculture, poultry, and livestock feed formulations due to its excellent amino acid profile, essential fatty acids, and high digestibility. Fish meal is produced through a process of cooking, drying, and grinding, ensuring a concentrated source of protein and vital nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and phosphorus. It enhances animal growth, improves feed efficiency, and supports overall health. Additionally, fish meal is extensively used in pet food formulations and organic fertilizers, making it an essential component in global agriculture and aquafeed industries.
The fish meal market is continuously expanding due to the rising demand for high-protein feed ingredients in the aquaculture and livestock industries. As global seafood production is increasing, fish meal is playing a crucial role in enhancing the nutritional quality of aquafeed, ensuring optimal growth and health of farmed fish. Additionally, the poultry and livestock sectors are consistently relying on fish meal to improve feed efficiency, promote muscle development, and enhance overall productivity. The growing awareness regarding the benefits of omega-3-rich diets in animal nutrition is further driving the market. Moreover, sustainable fishery practices and improved processing technologies are ensuring a stable supply of fish meal, supporting long-term market growth.
