APC provides functional protein ingredients that serve as building blocks in ruminant nutrition programs. Incorporated into a wide range of feeding strategies, our ingredients are used to help support animals through changing conditions and production demands.
Across both dairy cows and calves, APC focuses on supporting:
SOLUTIONS FOR ADULT DAIRY COWS
Dairy cows are at the center of a complex and demanding production system, requiring consistent nutritional support through every stage of production. From transition to peak lactation, nutrition plays a key role in helping cows navigate changing demands.
At APC, we don’t make the finished feed. We provide the functional protein ingredients behind it. Our red cell-based ingredients, including Fortify G, are used by nutritionists and feed manufacturers as part of well-designed rations. With decades of experience in functional proteins, our ingredients are selected to support cows during periods where consistency matters most.
Fortify G In Dairy Cow Diets
The key to success in the dairy industry is efficiency. Whether in your processes or actual production, getting more with less is the way of the future. Using APC’s Fortify G red cells in a properly balanced dairy cow diet can have a profound impact on key production measures – and your bottom line – all with a more nitrogen efficient and environmentally friendly ration.
SOLUTIONS FOR CALVES
Early life nutrition plays a critical role in setting the foundation for future performance. Calves face a variety of stressors while their digestive and immune systems are still developing, making nutrition decisions especially important during this phase.
APC’s functional protein ingredients are incorporated into milk replacers and on-farm feeding programs by our partners. Backed by extensive research across species and conditions, these ingredients are used in formulations designed to support calves through early life challenges and critical growth stages.
Hydrolyzed Protein Solutions For Europe
Hydrolyzed functional proteins offer value to calf milk replacer companies and calf raisers by providing both a highly digestible source of protein and a steady source of digestive peptides to help support the immune health of pre-weaned calves. Specially selected for high solubility in water, hydrolyzed functional proteins can replace other proteins typically used in young calf diets and offer performance in this critical growing phase. Hydrolyzed proteins are suitable for feeding all species of farmed animals according to Regulation (EC) 56/2013. Approved and listed by the German DLG (19.01.04), the use of hydrolyzed proteins from non-ruminants origine is allowed in Europe.
Solutions for North America
Young calves often face serious challenges in their first weeks of life: transportation, diet changes, environmental stress. Any of these issues can impact lifetime performance – which affects the bottom line. NutraPro, our plasma-based functional protein ingredient, can help on all counts. NutraPro contains a complex mixture of functional proteins that are proven to help support intestinal health and the overall immune system. When NutraPro is included in young calf diets as part of the milk feeding program, you can see a positive difference in your calves – and your wallet.
