Quick answer: Blood meal is sold mainly as spray-dried (fine, highly digestible, used in feed) or ring/flash-dried (granular, often used in feed and fertilizer). Look for 80–90% protein, high lysine, low moisture and safety testing. For fertilizer, check nitrogen content (about 12–13%); for feed, check digestibility and processing method.
