MucoPro is Sonac’s new natural protein. It is concentrated hydrolyzed porcine mucosal tissue. In dedicated European slaughterhouses the mucosal tissue of pig intestines is separated from the outer lining. Through enzymatic hydrolysis, pharmaceutical heparin is produced from this mucosa. The hydrolyzed mucosa is processed in order to remove fat and insoluble parts. Subsequently, the product is desalinated (a proprietary process), gently concentrated and finally spray dried (powder) to create an usable and storable product.

Calfos is the product name for Sonac’s hydroxy-apatite. It is produced from animal bones that have been crushed and degreased. The bone chips are further processed by a heat-and-pressure treatment (110 ºC for 20 min.). The gelatin is removed to a large extent and the remainder is dried and finely ground to improve the digestibility. This is the product named Calfos.

MucoPro 80P is a second generation hydrolyzed porcine peptone product. It is produced from intestinal mucosal tissue that is collected from dedicated West European pig slaughterhouses. This mucosal tissue is enzymatically hydrolyzed in order to extract heparin, that is used in human medicine. In Sonac’s plant in Burgum (NL) the hydrolyzed mucosa undergoes further processing steps like separation, desalination, concentration and spray drying. For improvement of product handling the powder can be granulated (new). Our patented production process delivers a tasty and unique protein product lower in ash and high in free amino acids as well as in di- tri- and tetra peptides. The final result is a palatability enhancer that is easily digestible, easy to handle and hypo-allergeni

This new ovine blood plasma demonstrates Sonac’s unique expertise and in-depth knowledge of the international pet food industry. The ovine plasma powder is a product to address the challenges of eliminating allergy concerns and foreseeing in supplementary protein sources. Ovine plasma is able to deliver an effective, limited ingredient solution for the development of good tasting, high quality pet food varieties. It also reinforces Sonac’s commitment to sustainability by ensuring all elements of the animal by-product are maximized.

Hydro-P Premium is a collagen hydrolysate. It is a natural, high-purity and hypoallergenic food-grade ingredient. Collagen hydrolysate can help to ease the symptoms of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. It can also help to heal wounds and burns.

Innomax™ MPI is a very palatable source of hydrolyzed protein. It is designed to add value to wet pet food, kibbles, snacks and treats. It aids formulators with protein enrichment and palatability. Whether you want to achieve added functionality or develop a healthier-tastier pet food, we are committed to help you with optimizing formulations to accomplish the best results

Plasma powder is a very palatable protein source designed to add value to wet pet food, kibbles, as well as snacks and treats. It aids formulators with protein enrichment and reformulation goals. Plasma powder helps to increase the quality of each formula by ensuring uniform desired texture. It ensures juiciness, elasticity and softness of chunks and pate. It provides proper binding in extrudates when reducing the inclusion of starch. Whether you want to achieve a perfect texture, add functionality or develop healthier kibbles we are committed to help you with optimizing formulations to accomplish the best results.

Sonac Proglobulin plasma proteins contribute to the reduction of antibiotics and the use of Zinc Oxide. Feeding plasma improves health (less diarrhea) and technical performance (Average Daily Feed Intake and Average Daily Gain). Sonac produces porcine plasma proteins under the brand name Proglobulin®. Proglobulin® is rich in immunoglobulins (IgG) and other bioactive proteins that have a role in the immune system.

Sonac Hemoglobin Powder - Aqua is a high protein alternative for fish meal. Vegetable protein sources are widely available but the replacement of fish meal by those vegetable proteins is limited in some aquatic species. The main nutritional problems associated with higher utilization of vegetable protein sources are unbalanced amino acid profile, lower digestibility of amino acids, high fiber content, presence of anti-nutritional factors and low availability of Phosphorus. This is especially true for more carnivorous fish species or for aquatic species with a rudimentary digestive system such as larval fish, juveniles, and shrimp. In these diets, hemoglobin offers an excellent source of concentrated protein.

Delfos is the product name for Sonac’s dicalciumphosphate-dihydrate (DCP.2H2O). It is produced from animal bones that have been crushed and degreased. This material is left during 5 days in a HCl solution to dissolve the gelatin and bone phosphate. Gelatin is separated and the remaining phosphate is carefully precipitated by addition of calcium hydroxide: here Delfos is created.
