Animal Plasma is a quality feed ingredient and should be considered safe for feeding livestock. Production of Blood Protein Animal Plasma is produced from fresh blood, which is collected at modern, federally inspected processing facilities. Federal inspection insures that the blood is collected only from healthy animals. Stainless steel collection troughs are positioned directly under the animal. The immediate addition of an anticoagulant prevents the blood from clotting.
Whole blood is passed through a centrifuge to separate cells from plasma.
The liquid plasma is refrigerated until it is spray dried. Effects of Animal Plasma Numerous trials with Animal Plasma have been conducted around the world since the initial tests were done. If the feeding of Animal Plasma has resulted in disease transmission, the positive effects on growth would not have been reported. When a pig is housed in a stressful environment it is most susceptible to a disease challenge. In fact, the opposite response has been observed.
