Collagen - Feed Ingredient
Collagen is a structural protein that makes up a significant portion of connective tissues such as skin, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage in animals. In feed and supplement applications, collagen is typically derived from bovine or porcine sources through hydrolysis of skin, bone, or connective tissues. The hydrolyzed form, known as collagen hydrolysate or hydrolyzed gelatin, is more soluble and digestible, making it suitable for use in animal nutrition.
In equine products, collagen is included to provide a source of specific amino acids such as glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, which are important for the synthesis and maintenance of connective tissues. It is often used in joint support supplements or formulations aimed at supporting structural tissue integrity.
The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Collagen as an ingredient.
