The poultry meal, feather meal, blood meal, and porcine meal we produce are suitable as a source of proteins for pet foods, fish and animal feeds, which promote circular economy.
Honkajoki Oy produces protein meals from the meat production side streams from animals which have been inspected and approved by veterinarians for food use. This is a responsible choice for feeding animals.
Protein meals from high-quality side streams are a responsible ingredient choice when producing pet foods. These nutrients are natural for dogs and cats, and the amino acid composition of animal proteins meets perfectly the needs of the pets.
Protein meals can replace imported soy in animal feeds, and as a circular economy product they are superior protein sources when looking into the carbon footprint calculations. Animal by-products also help in decreasing the use of virgin mineral phosphorus.
Circular economy products provide high-quality protein sources for making responsible fish feeds. The phosphorus content of feather meal is particularly low.

Limited natural resources and population growth are the most significant challenges of our time. For our part, we want to help food production operators use circular economy methods that ensure the recycling of nutrients and the maximum use of resources without losing valuable nutrients.
