World Pork Expo: Hamlet Protein launches HP 270 in swine

Hamlet Protein has a new product launch in the US. Tell us about HP 270 and what it does.
HP 270 is remarkably like our HP 300. There are some differences though. One of the differences is its lower in crude protein – it's about 51% crude protein. It’s also higher in anti-nutritional factors where HP 300 would be lower. It's still within our recommendations and what we would recommend.

The reason for the difference is that HP 270 goes through our process a little bit quicker, so it doesn't have time to break down like the HP 300 does. You can use it just like you can with HP 300. We created HP 270 because it's a more economical product from Hamlet Protein, but it still has all the pluses of being a consistent crude protein and some other aspects as well.

What does the data show for HP 270?
Two years ago, we talked about protein kinetics. What we've found out with protein kinetics is that HP 270 is a fast protein just like HP 300. It's not as fast, but it is faster than all the other soy products that are out there. We have also learned from some research conducted that it performs better than other soy products in nursery diets.
