product: l-lysine hcl
cas no.: 657-27-2
one of essential amino acids, is the first limiting amino acid for pigs and the second for Poultry . the level of dietary l-lysine concentration significantly influences on the growth performance and feed efficiency. supplementing l-lysine in dietary could balance the amino acid profile in the formula and fulfill the requirements of animals to optimize the technico-economic result of production.
applications:
lysine production for animal feed is a major global industry, reaching in 2009 almost 700,000 tonnes for a market value of over ?.22 billion. lysine is an important additive to animal feed because it is a limiting amino acid when optimizing the growth of certain animals such as pigs and chickens for the production of meat. lysine supplementation allows for the use of lower-cost plant protein (maize, for instance, rather than soy) while maintaining high growth rates, and limiting the pollution from nitrogen excretion. in turn, however, phosphate pollution is a major environmental cost when Corn is used as feed for poultry and swine.
