We process (exclusively) raw porcine materials. The result is high-quality liquid fat repurposed for alternative fuel, soap and shampoo. In addition, the processed animal protein (PAP) with its high nutritional content serves as feed and pet food and fertilizer.
Our innovative production process, including hexane treatment, results in a fat and PAP with higher nutrient content than that of our competitors.
The rich golden colour of our product indicates quality and immediately catches the eye. Due to many factors including our unique process and hexane treatment and strict quality and safety standards for both ourselves and our suppliers, we succeed in making products that leave behind less residual fat than the industry standard. The result?
You can count on the nutrient content being much higher than the industry norm.
You considerably reduce the likelihood of bacteria and mould growth.
You can be sure that the products have a much longer shelf life. Our products remain fresher longer and can be stored longer.
.
No additives necessary for prolonged transport because our products keep better, for longer.
Fewer additives = less oxidation and mould formation = ideal for transport in summer weather conditions
Fewer additives = higher concentrations of calcium, phosphorus and nitrogen = beneficial for animals and soil
Circular revaluation of raw materials (bones) to green energy and nutrient-rich feed and pet food
Animal proteins and liquid fat with a low ecological footprint, free of harmful heavy metals and monocalcium phosphate
our 24/7 service ensures that supplied bones and fat are always processed within 24 hours for the freshest possible product
Everything under one single management, from production to transport and logistics, and quality control in our own lab
PROGRA focuses on the respectful processing of raw materials into high-quality products. Our products are of such a high grade that additives are not needed. Additives are used to increase shelf-life but are harmful substances that damage the environment, animals and humans alike (think of antioxidants, heavy metals and monocalcium phosphate, for example)
The attention to our role in a circular economy is necessary because our products are repurposed within the chain. They form a basis for alternative fuels and are an ingredient in animal and crop nutrition. By nature, animal proteins are a sustainable product, and have a small ecological footprint in processing. Moreover, they deliver nutrients to animals and soil.
This is how PROGRA contributes to the European renewable energy initiatives, which set a minimum of 3.5% alternative fuel usage by 2030, including biofuel based on animal by-products.

PROGRA manages everything under one roof, including transport and logistics under ARNO. At PROGRA, processing and production are held to the strictest of European Regulation (EU/142/2011) and is ISCC certified. Our in-house laboratory monitors samples of every batch, overseeing health and safety.
Quality and innovation are at the heart of PROGRA. We choose not to add harmful antioxidants in order to prolong shelf life. Instead, we set the highest quality standards for the raw materials that are our products, which is why we have elevated phosphorus and calcium contents. This has wonderful results, for example, chickens fed with PROGRA feed are healthier and lay eggs both at a younger age and for longer than those fed with other feed.

(mainly Belgium, Europe and Asia) Thanks to lower residual fat levels it is ideal for long distance transport, and to hot and humid climates
(production, control, logistics, transport) to maintain our own quality standards.

Residual fat = less than the industry standard = less prone to germs/bacterias, moulds do not form = keeps longer = no additional measures required for long distance transport
Your chicken feed contains more phosphorus and calcium = chickens lay eggs at an earlier age, and until later in life
No antioxidants added to increase the shelf life of aquafeed = lower fish and shrimp mortality rates and healthier animals (better for human consumption)
PROGRA sets the bar high = adherence to quality standards set out for human consumption = use only suppliers with equally strict standards
