- Cost-effective functional replacement for squid meal, krill meal, and prime fish meal
Hydrolyzed Shrimp Protein (Gold) — Full Description
Hydrolyzed Shrimp Protein (Gold) is an advanced microgranulated hydrolyzed shrimp protein powder produced via controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of fresh shrimp by-products. With ≥62% crude protein, >94% pepsin digestibility, and ≥92% protein solubility, it provides bioactive low molecular weight peptides (<1,200 Da), high feeding attractancy, and proven immunomodulating benefits.
Hydrolyzed Shrimp Protein (Gold) concentrates the most biologically active components of marine crustaceans into a fine, water-soluble peptide powder. Produced via mild multi-enzyme hydrolysis of shrimp processing streams, it preserves functional bio-molecules that are typically destroyed by conventional rendering.
The peptide profile is exceptionally fine: 82.4% under 500 Da and 44.5% under 150 Da, accompanied by ~3% organic acids (formic acid). Furthermore, it carries natural astaxanthin (68.4 ppm) for cellular antioxidant protection and natural crustacean coloration, alongside 4,210 ppm of bioavailable cholesterol — an indispensable dietary precursor for crustacean ecdysis (molting) and hormone synthesis.
In aquaculture, Hydrolyzed Shrimp Protein (Gold) is the gold-standard attractant and survival booster for Penaeus vannamei and P. monodon hatcheries and nurseries, as well as marine fish starters. In terrestrial livestock, inclusion at 2–4% in early piglet diets provides a cost-effective, biosafety-assured alternative to blood plasma while stimulating energetic feed consumption.
