Abstract

The invention relates to fish meal comprising at least 74% by weight of protein, up to 10% by weight of ash and up to 1.5% by weight of phosphorous. The invention further relates to use of the fish meal as a feed for fish, shrimp, cats, dogs, pigs and poultry. The invention further relates to feed for fish and shrimp comprising the fish meal. The invention further relates to a process for producing a fish meal which comprises: (lxxxvi) providing a fish composition comprising raw fish meat and bones, and optionally skin and/or fins; (lxxxvii) subjecting the fish composition to mechanical separation which comprises squeezing soft components of the fish composition through perforations of a perforated drum to obtain a fraction enriched in raw fish meat, whereas a fraction enriched in fish bones, and optionally skin and/or fins remain outside of the drum, (lxxxviii) subjecting the fraction enriched in raw fish meat to cooking, then drying, and optionally grinding. The invention relates to fish meal comprising at least 74% by weight of protein, up to 10% by weight of ash and up to 1.5% by weight of phosphorous. The invention further relates to use of the fish meal as a feed for fish, shrimp, cats, dogs, pigs and poultry. The invention further relates to feed for fish and shrimp comprising the fish meal.

The invention further relates to a process of treating a raw fish composition to increase its content of protein, reduce its content of ash and/or reduce its content of phosphorous, wherein the process comprises: (lxxxvi) providing a fish composition comprising raw fish meat and bones, and optionally skin and/or fins; and (lxxxvii) subjecting the fish composition to mechanical separation to separate the fish bones, and optionally skin and/or fins from the raw fish meat which comprises squeezing soft components of the fish composition through perforations of a perforated drum to obtain a fraction enriched in raw fish meat.
