What is fishmeal?
Fishmeal is powdered, dried fish made mostly from small, bony, oily fish that cannot economically be processed for human consumption. Some fishmeal is also made from the waste from fish processing factories. It is an extremely high quality source of protein and is used as a premium protein source in many animal feeds. In fact, it has been shown that the use of fishmeal in animal feeds is a very efficient way to use this resource. A good source of further information on fish meal and fish oil is The International Fishmeal and Fish Oil Organization; www.iffo.org.uk .
