Fish Meal: The Protein That Feeds the Protein
Behind every farmed shrimp on a dinner plate and every broiler chicken in a supermarket stands an unglamorous brown powder: fish meal. Ground and steam-dried from whole fish and trimmings, it remains — after decades of substitutes trying to unseat it — the most complete natural protein in animal nutrition: a package of essential amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids and trace minerals that formulators call “unmatchable” for digestibility and palatability.
A market that swims with the tides
Fish meal is famously cyclical. Catch quotas, monsoon seasons and El Niño events tighten global supply, and fish meal prices move accordingly — which is why serious feed millers secure reliable suppliers rather than chase spot cargos. India’s western and southern coasts, from Veraval in Gujarat to the southern fishing harbours, have grown into significant fishmeal production centres, supplying both the booming domestic aqua-feed industry and export markets across Vietnam, China, Bangladesh, Indonesia and the Middle East.
60% or 65%? Match the grade to the ration
The two grades serve different economics. Fish Meal 60% Protein is the poultry and livestock workhorse — solid protein contribution at the best cost per point. Fish Meal 65% Protein is the aqua premium: higher amino-acid density and low histamine for shrimp and fish feed, where feed conversion ratios decide farm profitability. SIPL supplies both grades steam-dried, with controlled moisture, fat, sand-silica and histamine — the parameters buyers should demand on every certificate.
