Proven Wellbeing
from Nature

Hankkija Finnish Feed Innovations has its roots in the long tradition of developing novel, sustainable feeding solutions for supporting farm animal wellbeing and performance.
The newest members of Hankkija’s Pro-product family are ProHumi® (feed material) and ProHumi® Farm (feed material for enrichment use) - both rich source of humic acids and fiber, which have been proven to be beneficial for intestinal fermentation of monogastric farm animals.

Overview ProHumi® and ProHumi® Farm

BENEFITS

ProHumi® has demonstrated potential benefits for performance and intestinal fermentation in pigs and poultry.

WELLBEING

Using ProHumi® Farm (pellets) for enrichment in farms has supported wellbeing of piglets.

FROM NATURE

ProHumi® and ProHumi® Farm are 100% natural product sustainably produced from carefully selected Finnish peat
ProHumi® and ProHumi® Farm in a nutshell

ProHumi® concept

ProHumi® - unique feed material in a meal form.

ProHumi® and ProHumi®Farm - proven benefits

Product is a rich source of fiber, for supporting intestinal balance and performance in monogastric animals

In the intestine, an increased production of butyric acid has been shown, which is considered to support the intestinal mucosa.(*

In the intestine, a lower production of branched chain volatile fatty acids has been shown, which are regarded as indicators of undesirable amino acid fermentation.(*

Trusted performance - Consistent appearance.

Seamless integration into poultry feed production

Varying inclusion levels of ProHumi® (0.5% and 1%) have no impact on pellet texture and only minimal effect on colour, ensuring feed quality remains consistent.
