Hamlet Protein HP 300 Pre-Starter Feed

Hamlet Protein HP 300 Pre-Starter Feed is a specialty soy protein for young calf pre-starter feed suitable for ad libitum feeding from day 2 until post-weaning. HP 300 from Hamlet Protein is a high quality protein ingredient for efficient calf growth. Young calves depend on sound rumen development for sufficient energy supply as well as clean and digestible proteins for a smooth transition from milk to the post-weaning grower phase. That way rose calves and replacement heifers reach their slaughter weight earlier, and heifers get the best start to their productive life as an adult dairy cow.

    Technical Details & Test Data

    Product Testing

    Crude protein and amino acid digestibility in 17-days-old calves is overall better in HP 300 compared to regular SBM. The flow of amino acid to duodenum is higher and urea plasma concentration indicates better amino acid deposition in calves when fed HP 300 – a prerequisite for growth.

    Hamlet Protein HP 300 Pre-Starter Feed - Product Testing

    A commercial Dutch rosé calf operation have tested HP 300 in pre-starter feeding. The results showed a more uniform calf herd where small calves grow better on HP 300 and nearly reach the same weight as bigger calves. Overall, calves fed HP 300 had on average 4kg higher live weight and 2kg higher carcass weight at slaughter, week 32.
