Clean feed is a major factor influencing the development of a healthy gut in young animals.
intervention through management practices. Establishing a healthy gut through clean feed reduces the incidence of di- arrhoea and oxidative stress, and can diminish the need for antibiotics. Responses to these forms of stress also require a great deal of energy to activate the immune response. This results in energy from the feed being put towards the im- mune response, rather than towards growth. Feeding clean- feed ingredients support health while fostering perfect growing conditions.
Improved ROI Enhancing the immunity and overall health of young animals can translate into an improved return on investment (ROI). Feeding ingredients with lower ANF early on in life reduces gut inflammation and oxidative stress while supporting the development of a healthy immune system and leading to lower FCRs and therefore higher ROI. Less need for manage- ment interventions can also reduce the cost of production as less labour is needed and less money will be spent on antibi- otics/AGPs or other medications. While AGPs are forbidden in Europe, they are still used around the world, but with clean
diets AGPs become redundant and unnecessary, further im- proving ROI. Clean feed creates value both in terms of animal health and financial aspects.
Low ANF content improves gut health and performance Hamlet Protein produces clean soy-based feed ingredients for young animals with significantly lower ANFs compared to conventional SBM. The patented production process is gen- tle and uses an enzymatic treatment to reduce the levels of the most harmful ANFs without damaging the protein or the amino acids. The process is monitored very closely, making sure customers receive exactly the same high quality every time. Feeding Hamlet Protein products in the starter diet of young animals has been shown to enhance nutrient absorp- tion, increase body weight gain, decrease FCR, all while reducing the incidence of metabolic disease and need for treatment. The Hamlet Protein difference is providing young animal feed ingredients that help to establish a healthy gut in order to enhance performance and, ultimately, increase ROI.
