Feather Meal is a high-quality, slow-release nitrogen source made from 100% ground feathers, delivering a straight 15-0-0 NPK profile. What makes feather meal stand out from other nitrogen amendments is its unique protein structure — keratin breaks down at a much more gradual rate than something like blood meal, making it a safer option for sensitive or finicky crops, and an excellent partner when used alongside faster-release nitrogen sources for layered availability.
At 15% nitrogen, feather meal is one of the strongest organic N sources available, but the slow-release nature means it feeds steadily over time rather than delivering a quick flush. It increases organic matter in the soil, improving drainage, aeration, and water retention, and provides a food source for beneficial insects and soil organisms alike. It works well as a standalone nitrogen input or as a complement to whole fish meal, blood meal, or soybean meal for a more complete fertility program.
