Prawn powder (also known as Jheenga powder or Shrimp meal) is a powerful, organic nutritional supplement made from dehydrated and finely ground prawns or shrimp. It is highly valued in animal husbandry and bird keeping as a natural "superfood" due to its concentrated protein and mineral content.
High Bioavailable Protein ($50\%$–$60\%$): Unlike plant proteins, prawn protein is easily digested ($85\%$ digestibility), providing essential amino acids like Lysine and Methionine for rapid muscle development and repair.
Skeletal Support: It is naturally loaded with Calcium and Phosphorus.1 This strengthens beaks and bones in birds, and is vital for healthy shell development in turtles and tortoises.
Thicker Eggshells: For poultry and breeding birds, the high calcium content reduces the risk of soft-shelled eggs or egg-binding in females.
Chick Vitality: The rich nutrient profile ensures that embryos develop strongly, leading to higher hatch rates and more energetic chicks.
Yolk Richness: In chickens, it results in darker, more nutrient-dense orange yolks.
