SPECIAL STORY FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE April 2023 71 ity, providing better feed conversion rate - which is directly related to the cost-benefit of the ingredient. Therefore, to the producers, protein hydrolysates originated from co-products of animal slaughter are functional protein sources with great biological value, as they are an excellent source of bioactive peptides, which improves performance, health and animals’ welfare. By providing a better nutritional absorption, protein hydrolysates reduce costs, increase benefits - as stated before in this article - and expand profit rates for the producers, generating added value. By providing more health for animals in cultivation with efficient results in final size and weight, chicken hydrolysates prove to be a feeding alternative for every aspect of the animal nutrition industry. In conclusion, with all being said, the benefits of protein hydrolysates utilization are scientifically proven, as pointed out by the studies mentioned, as well as by the tests and innovations of BRF Ingredients in formulations of rich and balanced foods, also collaborating with preservation of the environment, reducing wastes and improving the reutilization of animal co-products.
