H-pro® has been tested as a protein source for piglets in a trial at Aarhus University Research Centre, Foulum. Piglets fed diets with H-pro® showed significantly higher feed intake and growth when compared with piglets fed diets with a commercial soya protein concentrate.

Biological properties

Hydrolysed protein in the form of small peptides and free amino acids

Protein digestibility 98-100%

Peptides < 1000 Da: ~ 80%    

Technical properties
Liquid with a viscosity of 50 mPa at 17°C
Density (weight per unit volume (kg/L): 1.17

Nutritional benefits:

• Pleasant flavour
• High protein digestibility

Positive impact on pellet quality:

• Stronger and more compact pellets
• Less dust
• More  and smaller pores in pellets which are extruded – resulting in increased fat absorption
