University of Illinois researchers found that spray-dried plasma protein, supplemented with threonine and isoleucine, can replace whey protein in calf milk replacers. Calves fed the formula from birth to eight weeks showed performance comparable to whey-based replacers.
The study was presented as a potential lower-cost alternative to whey.
A cheaper whey substitute could modestly reduce demand for whey and add plasma protein supply, but this is early research with no immediate price effect.
