Applications & Uses

Product Applications

Aquaculture

  • Formulating efficient protein and energy requirements in aquaculture rations is a challenge among aquaculture nutritionists. Special Select® fish meal provides over 60% protein, satisfying the crude protein to energy relationship in the desired nutritional range.

Swine

  • The amino acid profile found in Special Select® fish meal resembles that of sow’s milk and baby pig tissue enhancing the gastrointestinal system of neonatal pigs. Improvement in growth is also seen in early-weened pigs when development is crucial and bolsters the pig’s resistance to numerous diseases.

Pet

  • Special Select® fish meal is highly digestible and low in potential allergens providing companion animals with the essential amino acids needed for optimum growth and development.
