Special Select Menhaden Meal

Special Select Menhaden Meal is made from only the freshest fish processed at low temperature. This assures a finished product which is low in TVN (total volatile nitrogen) and histamine level, and high in digestibility. It was originally developed for the early weaned pig market and is now also being used in sow diets, aquaculture, pet foods, mink and poultry starters, and other markets demanding a high quality protein source.

Special Select fish meal differs from conventional regular grade fish meal in the quality and freshness of the raw material. Special Select meal is produced from a single species of fish, the Menhaden. The Menhaden are delivered chilled and whole to the processing facility in modern refrigerated vessels where they are immediately processed. This immediate processing technique allows OPI to optimize the quality of the meal through low temperature drying conditions and stabilization at the time of manufacture. The product is therefore of high protein quality, showing enhanced digestibility.
