Fish Meal

Kobyalar Group’s fish meal is produced from 100% Black Sea anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus). It contains a minimum of 72% highly digestible protein, Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), vitamins and minerals as well as essential amino acids for animal growth and a strong immune system.

Fish meal is mainly used as a feed ingredient in aquaculture, pig farming and poultry industries.

Fish Meal Production

The processing methods of fish meal are important to keep the nutritional values fresh.

The fish meal is manufactured by cooking, pressing, separating and drying. After cooking and pressing, the solid part, which is called “presscake”, goes to the dryers and the liquid part (water and oil) goes to separation. After the separation of fish oil, the remaining liquid part is called “stickwater”.

Stickwater is rich in nutrients especially soluble proteins. It is concentrated in falling film evaporators and added to the presscake to be dried. After the drying process, the fish meal is packed and stored in good conditions before being delivered to customers.

All the processes run under HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and GMP+ B2 rules.

Benefits of Fish Meal

Fish meal is mostly used in the aquaculture industry worldwide. The nutritional value of the protein relates directly to its amino acid composition and digestibility.

Growth & Development – High quality fish meal provides a balanced amount of all essential amino acids, phospholipids, and fatty acids for optimum development, growth, and reproduction.
Immune support – The nutrients in fish meal aid in disease resistance by improving the immune system.
Feed efficiency – Diets high in fish meal promote faster growth, as a result feeding costs are reduced.
Environmental benefit – Including fish meal in diets helps to reduce pollution from the wastewater effluent by providing greater nutrient digestibility.

Fish Meal Package

Fish meal is packed in 1.250 kg bigbags.
