Menhaden fish meal is a nutrient-rich product widely used as a high-protein animal feed supplement and an organic fertilizer. It is derived from menhaden, a fish not typically used for human consumption.
It is frequently fed to both livestock and fish.
It is 100% natural and contains macro- and micro-plant nutrients and vitamins made from the clean, dried, ground tissue of the menhaden fish species, and is an excellent source of high-quality animal-based protein, essential amino acids (lysine and methionine), and Omega-3 fatty acids.
Beyond livestock and pet feed, it is used as a slow-release, nitrogen-rich soil amendment, particularly beneficial for leafy green vegetables, and it improves overall soil health. It typically tests as a 10-4-0 NPK ratio with 10% Nitrogen, 4% Phosphorus, 0-1% Potassium. Some less pure suppliers say theirs is good enough for soil application but not recommended for animals. This source is well-suited for both due to the care in the manufacturing process. Apply according to soil test recommendations. For Home Gardens: Use 25-50 pounds per 1,000 square feet. It is well known for stimulating biological activity in the soil and increasing tilth. Fish meal is listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI), but certified organic growers should consult their certifier prior to use.
