Peanut Meal
High-energy oilseed meal at 47.2% measured protein, with aflatoxin B1 tested on every lot.
About this ingredient
Peanut meal is the by-product of peanut oil extraction: yellow-brown to light-brown, loose and flaky or granular, with the distinct aroma of the raw material. Crude protein exceeds 40% and measured lots run above 47%, alongside high metabolisable energy, crude fibre and minerals.
It is widely used in pig, poultry and ruminant feed. Because the amino acid profile is unbalanced, being low in lysine and methionine relative to its protein content, it performs best combined with complementary protein sources rather than used alone at high inclusion.
Peanut meal carries a genuine aflatoxin risk in humid storage. Every lot we ship is tested to GB/T 30955-2014 and the result appears on the certificate of analysis.

Formulation note
Confirm the aflatoxin B1 limit that applies in your destination market before ordering. Thresholds differ considerably between the EU, the Gulf states and South Asia, and we will match production to your limit.
Other proteins in the range
Hydrolyzed Feather Meal
Fully hydrolyzed keratin protein at 85% measured crude protein, the highest-protein ingredient in the range.
Pea Slurry Powder 68%
Zero-antigen plant protein with digestibility above 90% and a full amino acid profile. A direct plant-based route away from fish meal.
