| Hydrolyzed feather meal is
a good source of natural protein for most animal diets.
It can be used to replace a significant portion of other
protein sources in livestock and aquaculture diets.
Many studies by university
and private research scientists have confirmed the
utilization of feather meal and the economic advantage
as an ingredient. Research from the University of
Georgia found the mean True Metabolizable Energy (TMEn)
for Feather Meal to be 3637 kcal/kg on a dry matter
basis. In similar research from the University of
Minnesota, feather meal with a TMEn of 3250 kcal/kg
reported a True Available Amino Acid (TAAA) of 80
percent.
Further research has
shown that the addition of feather meal can increase
lean percent in broilers and swine, provide important
by-pass protein for ruminants, and provide an economical
source of protein for aquaculture diets.
