How to use them in boilies
Meat and animal proteins are dense, savoury ingredients: blood meal, blood plasma, liver powder and poultry protein meal. Blood products carry very high protein and a strong flavour that leaks well; liver powder adds a rich, meaty taste that carp recognise quickly; poultry meal is a cheaper bulk protein that can replace part of the fishmeal.
Use most of them sparingly. Blood meal, plasma and liver work at a few percent of the dry mix, while poultry meal can go to about 10 to 15 %. Liver mixes are popular in autumn, when carp feed hard before winter, and they combine well with liver liquids and birdfood. Blood plasma also helps binding, so a mix with plasma usually needs fewer eggs to roll cleanly.
