L-Lysine Monohydrochloride 98.5% Feed Grade
LysineLysine is the first limiting amino acid in feeds for pig and the second for poultry. The amount of lysine ingested on a daily basis has a direct influence on animal growth performances as this amino acid mainly serves to deposit body protein. Thus, adjusting the dietary lysine concentration according to the animal growth potential and its feed intake capacity makes it possible not only to optimize growth but also to optimize feed efficiency.
Moreover, in broiler chicken, there is a direct link between daily lysine supply and the development of certain muscles such as breasts. Therefore, adjusting lysine content enhances the value of meat cuts in case of further processing.
L-Lysine also makes it possible to limit the use of protein-bound lysine which is contained in vegetal protein such as soybean meal; this in turn reduces dietary protein levels and, as a consequence, reduces nitrogen excretion from animal husbandry in the environment. Moreover, as L-Lysine is 100% digestible, the animal can utilize is far greater than that of protein-bound lysine from vegetal protein.
Physical appearance is white to pale yellow crystals.
