Hydrolyzed Collagen - Feed Ingredient

Hydrolyzed collagen, also known as collagen hydrolysate or collagen peptides, is a processed form of collagen protein that has been broken down into smaller peptides through enzymatic hydrolysis. This increases its solubility and digestibility, making it more suitable for inclusion in animal feeds and supplements.

In equine nutrition, hydrolyzed collagen is used in specialty supplements as a source of specific amino acids such as glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline—key components in the structure of connective tissues including tendons, ligaments, skin, and cartilage.
