Blood Meal in Animal Feed: A Lysine-Rich Protein for Pigs, Poultry and Fish

Dried Blood Meal for Animal Feed supplied in bulk by NDRG Kokal Enterprise, Malaysia

Quick answer: Blood meal is one of the richest sources of lysine and protein (80–90%) available to feed formulators. Spray-dried blood meal is highly digestible and used in piglet, poultry, fish and pet diets, usually at modest levels because it is low in isoleucine. It pairs well with feather meal and plant proteins to balance amino acids.
