Including Oberon's ProFlocTM fish meal replacement (FMR) product into animal feeds offers many attractive benefits:
- High Quality Protein: Oberon ProFlocTM boasts an FMR product with protein content and amino acid balance comparing favorably to fair average quality (FAQ) fish meal - all at a competitive price [more on the ProFlocTM].
- Non-Marine Ingredient: Oberon's FMR derives from the conversion of unused by-products of food and beverage manufacture, reducing waste and providing simultaneous environmental benefit [more on Process]. Since the product does not rely upon marine sources, its production represents a sustainable practice that may be considered for 'Organic' certification.
- Free of Undesirable Contaminants: Oberon's FMR is produced from human food sources and therefore is free of potentially harmful bio-accumulative components - including mercury and pesticides - that may appear in fish meal.
- Continuous Supply: In contrast to fish meal, the production of Oberon's protein meal is not tied to the season and production may occur throughout the year, resulting in less need for storage and less risk of degradation.
- Local Production: Unlike fish meal, the greatest amount of which is produced in Peru and Chile prior to shipment across the globe, Oberon's FMR can be produced in many locations where food and beverage products are manufactured. Oftentimes, these locations coincide with with the production of animal feeds - leading to the potential for improving local economics while mitigating the carbon footprint associated with fishing fleets and transportation.
