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.
Coming in early 2026!
A new highly protein-rich gelling product with excellent water-binding capacity.
Its thickening properties improve the texture of products while also enhancing their nutritional value.
The product supports the formation and stabilization of wet food structures. It also firms up dry foods and improves their nutritional composition.
Coming in early 2026!
A hypoallergenic product with an exceptionally high protein content.
The enzymatically hydrolyzed peptides have excellent digestibility and high feed efficiency. Hydrolysis enhances umami flavor and improves protein tolerance.
This product is especially beneficial when high digestibility and absorption is needed, such as for juveniles and senior animals.
Coming in early 2026!
A new protein product with an exceptionally low ash content and a higher-than-normal protein level.
Produced using a new technology, this product contains even fewer minerals compared to conventional “low ash” poultry protein. This facilitates product optimization and ensures that calcium and phosphorus levels in the feed formula can be precisely adjusted.
This poultry protein product has shown to be highly palatable and effective feed ingredient. The excellent digestibility has been proven, in for example, rainbow trout farming.
Coming in early 2026!
Organic mineral product, where phosphorus and calcium are in a highly available and digestible form. This organic product can be used to replace feed components derived from virgin raw materials (e.g. monocalcium phosphate).
It is particularly well-suited as a source of phosphorus and calcium for pigs.
Protein meal made from side streams of food-grade meat production. The raw material comes from Finnish pork production chain. An excellent source of protein with a comprehensive amino acid composition. Reduces the need to use virgin protein and mineral phosphorus in poultry feed.

Very protein-rich and highly digestible physically hydrolyzed feather meal. A protein source that enhances the overall utilization of poultry production. Hydrolysis process makes the protein highly digestible; pepsin digestibility in the product is over 80%. Very low ash content. The raw material comes from Finnish chicken and turkeys. High proportion of chicken feathers coming from antibiotic-free production in Finland ensures exceptionally clean raw material.

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.
