AQUA
APC ingredients provide a rich source of highly digestible proteins that help to promote growth and to alleviate the effects of normal stress experienced in farmed fish environments. You can count on APC’s superior quality ingredients to help you sustain your operation.
Spray Dried Red Cells
Spray dried red cells (SDRC) can be used as a partial replacement for fishmeal or other protein sources. SDRC improves amino acid balance and provides superior digestibility.
- Highly digestible protein: 98-99%
- High in lysine and other indespensible amino acids
- Environmentally friendly low Phosphorous content
- Improves weight gain and efficiency
- Highly soluble
- Highly palatable
- Aids feed processing of high fat pellets
Spray Dried Plasma
Plasma is a highly digestible protein with significant benefits to the aquaculture industry. Research demonstrates plasma helps support immune and intestinal health. Plasma is especially effective when used during stressful or challenging conditions either with or without antibiotics or other medications. Plasma offers health benefits unlike any other ingredient. Plasma helps to support immune and intestinal health, leading to improved production measures:
- Reduces mortality
- Increases weight gain
- Improves feed intake
- Improves growth
- Improves uniformity

Poultry
- Broilers : 1 to 3% in the first diet until reaching 3 to 4g of total cumulative plasma intake per chicken.
- Layers & Breeders : 2% during the first 4 to 6 weeks of life.
- Turkeys : 2% in the first feeding phase, and 1% when facing stress during transition periods.
- Plasma Performance
Pet owners have become increasingly savvy at identifying ingredients that are beneficial for their pets. APC knows the pet
food industry needs ingredients that are both functional and label friendly. Pets quickly become family members and pet
parents want to feed them as such. This is part of the reason why there is a demand for high quality proteins to be added
to their food and treats. Not only do plasma derived proteins satisfy customers’ needs they offer many benefits to
manufacturers. APC’s ingredients offer a unique solution not only for formulation requirements, but also by providing
unparalleled health benefits including immune support and digestive health while positively impacting muscles, joints, skin
and coats with visible results.Wet, Moist & Semi-moist Petfood
Plasma can be used as a quality binder for traditional manufacturing benefits including making firmer chunks with fewer crumbs, improving texture and creating a gravy pets love.
- Improves water holding, gelling and emulsification
- Improves palatability
- Improves digestibility
- Allows high levels of protein in recipes with reduced starch
- Replaces gums and stabilizers that may cause digestive upset
Dry Petfood, Treats & Supplements
In dry applications, plasma offers the opportunity for a different kind of functionality - supporting immune health while replacing less desirable ingredients. More than 600 published journal articles show the power of plasma and the positive impact it has on the overall well-being of animals.
- Supports immune health
- Improves digestibility
- Highly palatable
- Low ash, high protein alternative
- Helps balance calcium / phosphorus from meat meals
- As source of functional proteins in senior dogs to improve cognitive functions
Plasma Performance in Swine
Research with leading scientists has shown that plasma in pig feed can:
- Reduce mortality up to 50%
- Increase gain by 30%
- Improve feed intake by 25%
- Nursery : Using plasma in nursery diets improves feed intake and efficiency and reduces mortality during the stressful post-weaning period.
- Gestating & Lactating Sows : Using plasma in sow diets results in more full value pigs, improved farrowing rate and more pigs weaned per sow served.
- Finishing Pigs : Using plasma in grow-finish diets contributes to an efficient immune response which helps pigs to recover more quickly and reduces low value pigs and culls. Plasma can be a tool to reduce reliance on using antibiotics.
- Boars : Using plasma in boar diets helps to increase doses per collection and reduce discard rate, especially in boars under stress.
Plasma Performance in Poultry
Plasma can be used alone or in combination with other technologies, making it ideal for use in both antibiotic-free and conventional systems. This is because plasma’s unique mode of action is strongly associated with immune response and has been shown to be complementary to antibiotics and other feed additives.
Recent research with leading scientists has demonstrated that feeding SDP in poultry can:
- Improve production performance measurements
- Reduce mortality up to 50%
- Reduce the negative effects of stress and disease
