Milk replacers
Over 3 decades, NHP became specialists in the formulation and manufacturing of milk replacers, mostly for calves and lambs, but also for other species such as rhinos, lions and cheetahs. We also developed high starch milk replacer alternatives, providing for better and faster rumen development in young ruminants. With the inclusion of our own Microbial derived protein (MDP) we were also able to provide milk replacers without any animal derived components.
Probiotics
NHP became a pioneer in the development of patented probiotics that have stress resistant properties over the past 4 decades. We developed some of the first commercial probiotics in the world. With our 33 DNA-sequenced strains we developed a range of products, sold under our own brand, white labelled and contracted for other companies.
Colostrum
Colostrum is essential for new born mammals, providing them with passive immunity and growth factors from their mothers. NHP produces a high quality colostrum concentrate powder, derived from cow's colostrum as a very effective mother's colostrum alternative, high in immunoglobulins, amino acids, lactoferrin and other essential factors.
Antioxidants
NHP developed and manufactures natural antioxidants, with exceptional high capabilities to scavenge free radicals and heavy metals, that is used as additives in animal feed to prevent rancidity of fats, replace 50% of the vitamin A and vitamin E, improve bypass protein, increase keratin growth and reduce carcass drip loss. Trials with cattle, sheep, broilers and layers showed significant increase in net profit margins for commercial farms and feedlots.
Animal feed
NHP manufactures a range of livestock feed, including lamb creep pellets, calf starter pellets and calf grower pellets, into which our antioxidants and probiotics are already included.
Microbial derived protein (MDP)
High quality, yet affordable protein seems to be an ongoing issue to be sourced, especially for the production of milk replacers and high quality pet food. MDP was developed by using multi stage fermentations to produce non-animal derived proteins, with a similar amino acid profile to that of animal derived proteins with an acceptable taste for the recipients.
