Plant-Based Protein Factory

When you choose a partner specialized in processing plant-based proteins for young animal feed, you choose Van Tuijl. Our plant-based protein factory processes soy, lupine, and peas into high-quality ingredients that are fully tailored to the nutritional needs of calves, piglets, and other young animals. Thanks to an integrated production process, we can provide raw materials that are not only rich in protein but also highly digestible and functional for the growth and health of young livestock.

High-quality plant-based proteins

In our factory, we start with carefully selected protein sources. Soy serves as the base due to its high protein content and rich composition of essential amino acids. Lupine offers a sustainable supplement with high protein content and a complete amino acid profile, ideal for supporting muscle and tissue development.

Advanced processing techniques

The success of plant-based proteins in young animal feed strongly depends on the processing method. In our factory, raw materials are first ground into a very fine particle size, significantly improving absorption in the digestive tract of young animals. The ingredients are then extruded under controlled pressure and temperature. This process breaks down complex structures, reduces antinutritional factors, and increases digestibility, allowing animals to utilize more nutrients from the same amount of feed.

After extrusion, the raw materials can be finely milled, further enhancing digestibility. The entire process is designed to preserve protein quality while ensuring practical usability for you as a feed producer.

Benefits of plant-based proteins in young animal feed

Using soy, lupine, and peas in young animal feed offers multiple benefits. Plant-based proteins support growth and muscle development, contribute to a healthy gut flora, and promote a robust immune system. Additionally, these protein sources provide a sustainable feed supplement, supporting responsible business practices and reducing the ecological footprint.

Our plant-based protein factory combines technological expertise with years of experience in young animal nutrition. By managing the entire process—from raw material selection to processing and packaging—under one roof, we ensure a consistently high-quality product that performs reliably in your feed system.

Practical applications

The plant-based proteins we provide can be incorporated into various young animal feeds, such as milk replacers, starter and grower feeds for piglets, and special calf feed blends. Thanks to optimal digestibility and a balanced amino acid profile, the feed promotes a healthy start, rapid growth, and long-term performance.

Focus on custom solutions

Van Tuijl’s plant-based protein factory offers a complete solution for young animal nutrition. By processing high-quality soy, lupine, and peas through grinding, extrusion, sieving, and pelleting, we create a product rich in protein, highly digestible, and fully aligned with the nutritional needs of young animals. Our technical expertise and focus on customization make us the ideal partner for feed producers seeking reliable, sustainable, and high-quality plant-based proteins.
