Unlock maximum protein utilization in your feed
DigestPro™ represents a breakthrough in feed enzyme technology, developed through collaborative research between New Hope Group China and National Taiwan University. This premium neutral protease is exclusively licensed and produced by Range Pharma to deliver superior protein digestibility across poultry, swine, and aquaculture feeds.
Key features for your operation
-
Targeted protein specificity
DigestPro™ was created from forced evolution using livestock feed as the sole nutrient source, developing specialized capability to digest key feed proteins including soybean meal, corn proteins, fish meal, meat and bone meal, canola meal, sunflower meal, and wheat gluten.
-
Enhanced protein digestibility
Breaks down complex proteins into readily absorbed peptides and amino acids, improving overall nutrient utilization.
-
Improved feed conversion
Delivers better feed conversion ratios, directly reducing feed costs per unit of production.
-
Environmental sustainability
Reduced nitrogen and ammonia excretion through improved protein utilization, supporting global environmental goals.
