Gilbert (2008) in his review on peptide nutrition showed the special benefit of peptide nutrition: animals have 3 ways how peptides can be taken up directly from the intestinal lumen into the gut cell and / or blood stream. This is both an energy- efficient and a fast way of delivering amino acid products to a very active tissue. Hence the addition of hydrolyzed mucosal tissue leads to improved taste and fast availability of amino acids and peptides for gut cells (enterocytes)

- PALAPRO STIMULATES FEED INTAKE
The benefit of Palapro is shown in research performed by the University of Madrid (Spain 2010). Piglets were weaned at 25 ± 3 days; control diet with 8 % prime quality Chilean fish meal, other treatments: 3 % MucoPro, 3 % Palapro or 3 % plasma 70 in exchange with fish meal. First 2 weeks post-weaning showed feed intakes of feeds containing Palapro or plasma significantly higher than those containing fish meal or porcine peptones. During the full monitoring period (5 weeks post-weaning) Palapro showed the best feed conversion ratio.
- Advantages
- Very palatable animal protein product;
- A unique combination of plasma and intestinal peptones;
- Increases daily gain of piglets after weaning;
- Increases the feed efficiency esp. in the first week after weaning
- Very efficiently used by the gut cells (peptides); Reinforces the intestinal defense system; the barrier function
- High level of immunoglobulins;
- A very concentrated protein source (80 %);
- Water soluble for liquid applications;
- The best alternative for plasma products with lower protein levels (around 70 %)
Applications & Uses

- Application
The most obvious application for a high protein and immunoglobulin rich raw material like Palapro 80P would be in (pre)-starter feeds for young animals, esp. piglets. It can be used in weaner or pre-starter diets when a high feed intake, a high daily gain and optimal protection is wanted. It is a good alternative to classic plasma products, offering a functional, highly concentrated protein source at an economical optimum. Especially in the first week after weaning the peptides of Palapro give an attractive extra value/ nutrient to the gut cells, which is reflected in a very low FCR figure. The recommended inclusion level of Palapro 80P is 3 - 5% in weaner and prestarter piglet diets.
Regulatory & Compliance
- Certifications & Compliance
- Eu Feed Law
Palapro is a 100% porcine protein source. It is considered a non-ruminant blood product and should be labeled as such. According to EU legislation, Palapro is not allowed in ruminant feeds and can only be used in non-ruminant feed production facilities
