Looking for a spray-dried plasma (SDP) replacement? Hamlet Protein introduces Vegetable Plasma in the form of HP300. The combination of extremely low levels of anti-nutritional factors with a fast hydrolysable protein makes HP 300 an excellent vegetable alternative to SDP while allowing for a reduction in total feed costs.

Hamlet Protein is passionate about driving research on protein digestion, so our customers can be frontrunners in their industry. Therefore, we have spearheaded research into protein kinetics. The latest findings reveal interesting facts about use of fast protein in the diets of weaned pigs. It improves growth performance, overcomes low crude protein levels, and reduces nitrogen excretion.

Research on protein kinetics – how quickly protein is available to an animal – is gathering pace, producing results which are likely to change our approach to this key nutrient in livestock diets.

Protein kinetics is all about the speed of protein digestion. The faster a protein source is digested and absorbed the faster it becomes available for the animals. Research now shows that faster protein ingredients are also better used for growth and performance than slower ingredients which means less protein is wasted. Knowing the protein kinetics of a protein source will allow nutritionists to formulate diets with a higher protein biological value, optimising animal performance and therefore feed cost, and reducing nitrogen excretion into the environment. Hamlet Protein produces the fastest vegetal protein.

Nursery diets of the near future can be formulated to optimize protein utilization, which is partly dependent on digestibility, but is largely influenced by the speed of protein digestion and absorption.

Hamlet Protein nutritionists have been focusing on the protein kinetics concept in recent times and are making promising discoveries in terms of feed efficiency, protein deposition and biological value in animals.

Choosing the best protein source for young animals is critical to farm profits. But, in a market full of protein products that claim to optimize growth and improve feed efficiency, it can be hard to put a finger on why one is a better choice than another. New research has uncovered the missing point of difference. What scientists have found is that the secret of the best protein performance is in the timing. More specifically, it’s about the speed of protein digestibility and absorption.

Knowing the protein kinetics of each protein source will allow nutritionists to formulate diets with a higher protein biological value, optimizing animal performance and therefore feed cost, and reducing nitrogen excretion into the environment. Hamlet Protein has been conducting research during the last 2 years and discovered there are large differences in protein kinetics between protein sources.
