Fish meal is the most nutritionally complete protein ingredient available to feed manufacturers. No plant protein matches its combination of amino acid density, digestibility coefficient, and palatability across aquaculture, poultry, and livestock applications.

The difference between our steam-dried fish meal and flame-dried alternatives is not visible in the crude protein figure. It shows in the reactive lysine retention - the portion of lysine that is biologically available after processing. In flame-dried systems, high localised temperatures trigger the Maillard reaction, bonding lysine into forms the animal cannot absorb. Steam drying suppresses this reaction. The crude protein number looks the same. The FCR performance in grow-out does not.

Raw material at Hameed Marine arrives from Gulf of Mannar landing centres within 2 to 4 hours of catch. That proximity is why our Super Grade TVBN ceiling of 100 mg per 100g is achievable as a consistent specification - not as an aspirational target.
