Health through nutrition
Optimal gut health is of vital importance to the performance of production animals. We believe there is a direct relation between animal performance and a healthy gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Gut health is especially important in the early life stages and that is where Hamlet Protein focuses to deliver performance, sustainability and well-being.
Intestinal health is especially important for getting the most out of aquafeed diets. Improving intestinal health can contribute to increased nutrient absorption through a greater internal intestinal surface area for absorption.

Fiber is now ascribed a new and equally important value as a functional ingredient used strategically to stimulate the gut and ease the transition at weaning.![]()

All-Vegetable Diets
Feeding an all-vegetable diet to nursery pigs can be tricky but possible with careful consideration of all ingredients coming into the diet. Of all the diet phases, nursery diets are consumed the least but are also the most complex and most expensive by volume. The lower the average weaning weight, the more complex the diets tend to be to encourage feed intake. There is high expression of the lactase enzyme at this stage of growth, so these diets typically contain lactose as a highly digestible source of carbohydrate![]()
