The WINPRO story goes back to the 1980s at Iowa State University where there were trials done to try and save the lives of weaning baby piglets. During this stressful time, young piglets are taken away from mom. Many died from the stress. So, researchers at Iowa State started putting spray-dried blood plasma into the pigs’ starter diet. It had a profound and positive effect. So instead of losing lots of pigs, farmers lost hardly any. And a revolution was born... Over the years, blood proteins have been used to improve the lives of many animals including dairy calves, lambs, kids, goats, juvenile fish, and horses. In late 2016, WINPRO was formed to explore using blood proteins in dogs and the results were nothing short of astonishing.

Today, WINPRO is the only company to offer a line of blood protein supplements formulated especially for dogs. We got the chance to interview Tim Mitchum, President of WINPRO, and get the inside scoop on how blood protein supplements work and WINPRO’s humble beginnings.
