Our focus is to help animals thrive.
APC is the world’s largest producer of functional proteins. From high-quality ingredients for livestock producers, feed manufacturers and pet food companies to complete animal nutrition products for end users, we offer innovative solutions that help improve the lives of animals.
About APC
The APC story began in 1981 when scientists identified the powerful role functional proteins play in helping support and maintain normal immune function in piglets. Inspired by this discovery, we were first to initiate research on the benefits of plasma-derived functional proteins for animal nutrition.
Since then, APC has grown into the world’s largest producer of functional proteins. Today we are a leading manufacturer of high-quality ingredients and complete, user-ready products that optimize animal nutrition.
APC strives to provide well-researched products that benefit animals. Products you can feel confident about feeding. Our steadfast commitment to quality is apparent through our dedicated Quality Assurance/Quality Control and Regulatory teams. We systematically monitor and evaluate our production processes and rigorously test our finished products to ensure the highest standards of quality—your standards.

Our Science
The Science Behind Functional Proteins
Functional proteins are a complex mixture of biologically active proteins that help support and maintain normal immune function. APC’s functional proteins are derived from unique components found in bovine and porcine blood, and are consumed by millions of animals around the globe.
The technology APC uses to separate plasma fractions is similar to technology used for milk processing in the dairy industry and plasma separation in blood banks. In fact, we have been granted 20 patents in the United States and Europe related to collecting, processing and feeding functional proteins.
Ongoing research is imperative to our success. We are always building on our body of knowledge and sharing what we know with industry leaders, influencers and academics. APC subject matter experts have authored hundreds of peer-reviewed articles published in internationally recognized scientific journals. APC also sponsors university and commercial research to advance the understanding of functional proteins and their positive impact on animal nutrition.
