Description

Menhaden Fish Meal is a nutrient-dense ingredient produced from whole Menhaden fish, which are small, oily fish found in the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Unlike plant-based proteins, fish meal provides a “complete” protein profile, containing all the essential amino acids—most notably Lysine and Methionine—in ratios that perfectly mirror the needs of growing livestock.

This supplement is renowned for its high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which are critical for reducing inflammation, supporting brain development, and improving the shine and quality of skin and feathers. For poultry, it is a secret weapon for increasing egg hatchability and chick vigor. For swine, it is often used in nursery diets to ease the transition to solid feed and provide a highly digestible energy source that young piglets crave.

  • 100% Ground & Dried Whole Menhaden Fish

  • Poultry: Mix into rations at a rate of 2% to 5%. It is especially beneficial for “starter” chicks and breeding flocks.

  • Swine: Incorporate into nursery and grower rations at 3% to 7% to support rapid lean muscle growth.

  • Aquaculture: A primary ingredient for carnivorous fish and shrimp, often making up 20% to 50% of the specialized diet.

  • General Livestock: Can be used as a top-dress for high-performance animals requiring an amino acid boost.

  • Note on Flavor: To avoid “fishy” off-flavors in meat or eggs, it is recommended to remove or reduce fish meal from the diet 2–3 weeks prior to slaughter or during peak egg collection for human consumption.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Due to high oil content, keep out of direct sunlight and use within 6 months to ensure freshness.

Products FAQ

Is Fish Meal safe for cattle and sheep?

Yes, Menhaden Fish Meal is a high-quality “bypass protein” for ruminants, meaning it escapes fermentation in the rumen and is absorbed directly in the small intestine. However, it is most commonly used in monogastric (poultry/swine) diets.

Menhaden is a sustainable, short-lived species that is naturally high in oil. This results in a meal that is more consistent in protein and fat levels compared to “white fish” meals made from processing scraps.

Yes, it has a distinct “ocean” aroma. While humans may find it strong, most animals find the scent highly attractive, which helps encourage picky eaters to consume their feed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the product.

Calves can be introduced to 16% Calf Creep Feed as early as 4 to 6 weeks of age, once they begin showing interest in nibbling solid feed. Early exposure helps calves gradually adapt from a milk-based diet to grain and forage, supporting proper rumen development. Starting creep feed early can also reduce stress at weaning and encourage steady growth, especially when pasture quality is declining or milk production from the cow begins to drop.

I source my grain for animal and livestock feeds based on local suppliers. Often, I purchase directly from local farmers, especially if they produce seasonal crops. Additionally, I buy high-quality feed from larger agricultural supply companies when necessary to meet the specific needs of my animals.

To check the freshness of your feed product, start by examining its smell, as fresh feed usually has a natural, earthy scent. If it smells sour or musty, it could indicate spoilage. Next, check the appearance for any discoloration, mold, or clumping, which may suggest exposure to moisture. Feel the feed to ensure it’s not damp, as excess moisture can promote mold growth. Always check the expiration date, if available, and ensure the feed has been stored properly in a cool, dry place. Finally, look out for pests, as their presence is a clear sign of compromised feed. Regular checks and proper storage will help maintain the feed’s freshness and nutritional value.

Vital Signs in Horses

As a horse owner, you are the first line of defense. While your vet is the expert, you are the one who knows your horse’s “normal.” In an emergency, being able to provide accurate vitals can save your vet time and potentially save your horse’s life.

Horse Cooling Tips

When the humidity rises and the sun beats down, horses feel the heat just as much as we do—if not more. Because horses are large-bodied animals with heavy muscle mass, they generate a massive amount of internal heat, especially during work.

A Guide to Body Condition Scoring Your Horse

When it comes to horse health, “looking good” is subjective. One rider’s “fit” is another’s “thin,” and what looks like a “healthy curve” might actually be a metabolic red flag.

Body Condition Scoring Your Horse

Ever looked at your horse and wondered if that “roundness” is healthy muscle or a few too many flakes of alfalfa? While we all love a “shiny” horse, there is a fine line between well-covered and overweight.
