\n

Quick answer:<\/strong> Fish meal has more protein (55\u201365%) and better amino acid digestibility, making it the premium choice for aquaculture and young animals. Meat and bone meal (about 45\u201350% protein) is cheaper and much richer in calcium and phosphorus, so it suits poultry, pig and pet feed where permitted. As fertilizers, fish meal is higher in nitrogen while MBM supplies more phosphorus.<\/p>\n
