European Protein – the protein factory

The FERMENTATIONEXPERTS subsidiary European Protein A/S produces fermented and subsequently dried ingredients that can be used as a better and less expensive source of protein. Find out more about protein feed.

In collaboration with pig farmer Henrik Mols and Aarhus University, European Protein has been granted DKK 11.2 million to build a demonstration plant and to document degrees of digestibility in three different protein mixes. The study focuses on rapeseed, broad beans and sunflower seeds. The plant is to be based in Jelling near Vejle, Denmark.

European Protein AS aims to produce 50,000 tons of European protein in 2012. Trial mixes were made in 2011 and generated good results at piglet farms. Several farmers succeeded in replacing all the fishmeal they used, with corresponding or even better results.
