\n

Quick answer:<\/strong> Hydrolysed feather meal adds concentrated protein (80\u201385%) to poultry, pig, fish and pet feed at relatively low cost. It is rich in cystine but low in lysine, methionine and histidine, so it works best at moderate inclusion with complementary proteins and synthetic amino acids. Digestibility depends on proper hydrolysis.<\/p>\n
