Fish Meal Per Kg

Description

Fish meal is a commercial product made from whole wild-caught fish, bycatch, and fish by-products to feed farm animals, e.g., pigs, poultry, and farmed fish. Because it is calorically dense and cheap to produce, fishmeal has played a critical role in the growth of factory farms and the number of farm animals it is possible to breed and feed.

Fishmeal takes the form of powder or cake. This form is obtained by drying the fish or trimmings and grinding them. If the fish used is a fatty fish it is first pressed to extract most of the fish oil.

Fun Fact: Fish meals have been used historically to feed poultry, pigs, and other farmed fish.
