  • Young ruminants
  • Ruminants
Whatever your production programs are, feed efficiency and avoidance of intestinal disturbances are the keystones of profitable poultry operations. Progres® and Progut® have shown outstandingly consistent performance benefits in various production conditions and wide range of diets.
Improve broiler and turkey performance

• Progres® has improved the growth and FCR of broilers and turkeys in numerous scientific trials and in commercial farms.

Prevent Salmonella and E. coli problems

• Progut® has reduced Salmonella and E. Coli related problems in poultry.

Activate immunity

• Progut® has modulated the immunity of broilers helping them to cope better with challenges.

Reduce dysbiosis/wet litter/dirty eggs problems in broilers, turkeys and layers

• Progres® has improved litter quality in broilers and turkeys and reduced dirty eggs problems in commercial layers.

• Progut® has reduced wet litter problems and dirty eggs problems caused by E. Coli.

Improve well being of your birds

• Progres® has improved foot pad condition in broilers and turkeys.

Our product applications for piglets are aimed at supporting intestinal health and training immunity for improved performance. Use of Hankkija’s products in sow diets improves sow performance, as well as the performance of their litters.
Improve post-wean performance

• Progut® has improved growth and fcr of weaned piglets.

Reduce diarrhea risks

• Progut® has reduced E. coli shedding and diarrhea in weaned piglets.

• Progres® has reduced the prevalence of post weaning diarrhea in piglets (unpublished data).

Activate immunity

• Progut® has modulated the immunity of piglets helping them to cope better with challenges.

Improve sow and litter performance

• Progres® has improved sow colostrum yield and quality and thus enhanced litter performance.

Young calves, goat kids and lambs undergo challenging growth periods, and supporting their gut health and immunity results in better performance. Progut® and Progres® support the development of a healthy gut and immunity, thus improving the performance of young ruminants.
Reduce diarrhea risk

• Progres® has reduced diarrhea in young ruminants.

• Progut® has reduced diarrhea problems caused by E. coli.

Improve growth/FCR

• Progres® has improved growth and FCR in calves, goat kids and lambs.

Activate immunity

• Progut® has modulated the immunity of calves helping them to cope better with challenges.

Products

Progres®

A patented, natural resin acids product which improves gut integrity and performance of animals. It’s refined from a side-stream of cellulose industry. Resin acids originate from rosin – a substance, which protects coniferous trees. In Finland, rosin has been used throughout the centuries for wound healing and is known for its anti-inflammatory properties.

Progut®

A dual function product: The whole Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast is activated by unique hydrolysis for effective modulation of microbiota and immunity. This results in improved feed efficiency and growth and reduced diarrhea risk.

Progut® Extra

The refined version of our patented Progut® is produced by stronger hydrolysis, which brings in a higher content of soluble bioactive structures and thus enhanced biological responses. Stronger hydrolysis not only means lower inclusion rates, Progut® Extra is especially suitable for challenging conditions and for ruminant applications.

Finland – Passion for nature and innovations

Up north where pure nature meets sustainable animal production

Passion for Nordic nature: about 75% of the land area is covered by forest, 4,5 hectares per inhabitant. Finns enjoy forest and learned to refine it to amazing products.

Successful in developing sustainable animal production: country ranked Salmonella free in EU, antibiotics banned in 1990s. Pro-active in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Focus on advanced technology (did you know that the first text message has been sent in Finland?). Highly ranked school education, free even on university level.

A country of Northern lights, Santa Claus, ice hockey and more saunas then cars. The happiest country in the world, according to several surveys.
