Fish meal is a high-protein feed ingredient derived from the processing of fish. It is produced by cooking, pressing, drying, and grinding fish or fish by-products, resulting in a nutrient-rich powder. Fish meal is commonly used in animal feed, particularly for livestock and aquaculture, due to its excellent amino acid profile and digestibility.
