Nutraferma launches UltraPro+ ingredient for piglet diets
Nutraferma, a major innovator of biotech solutions, has launched UltraPro+, a high-quality functional protein ingredient for piglet diets, which contains direct-fed microbials and metabolites from patented strains of Bacillus subtilis and Aspergillus oryzae.
According to Nutraferma's president, Eric Lohry, UltraPro+ contains a balance of animal peptides, fermented soy, metabolites, and viable direct-fed microbes, which can improve average daily gain and feed efficiency, without depending on the costly alternatives of plasma or fishmeal. These benefits were proven in two separate university trials when piglets, fed with diets containing UltraPro+, showed better results compared to those fed with other test ingredients.
No other differences were observed in average daily feed intake among all the other treatments.
