Calves - documented effects

Feeding trials constitute a cornerstone at HAMLET PROTEIN. Since 1992, we have conducted several feeding trials around the world to monitor the effects of our soya protein products in terms of both rearing and veal calves purposes.

All of the completed feeding trials regarding calves show convincing nutritional and economic effects when skimmed milk powder is replaced with a mixture of our soya protein products and whey powder. The following effects are documented:

• Milk proteins can be replaced without compromising on performance results
• Good weight gain
• Good feed utilisation
• Stimulating effect on the uptake of concentrate
• Cost-savings (cost-efficient zero milk formulations)

Economic calculations demonstrate that savings of 890 Euro per ton replaced skimmed milk powder can be obtained by replacing the milk with a mixture of HAMLET PROTEIN´s products and whey powder in a ratio of 55:45 (September 2010 prices). Our products for calves will also often prove to show an economical advantage when compared to other vegetable protein products.
