L-Lysine Monohydrochloride (Feed Grade) is the commercial hydrochloride salt form of the essential amino acid L-Lysine, specifically manufactured and quality-controlled for use in animal feed formulations. It is produced through microbial fermentation, followed by purification, crystallization, and drying processes compliant with feed safety and quality regulations.
It is the first limiting amino acid in cereal-based diets for monogastric animals (pigs, poultry, and aquaculture species) and is added to feed to correct amino acid deficiencies, optimize protein utilization, and improve growth performance.
Primary Functions in Animal Nutrition:
Balances Amino Acid Profile: Corrects the deficiency of lysine in plant-based feed ingredients (e.g., corn, wheat, soybean meal).
Improves Protein Efficiency: Reduces the need for high crude protein levels in feed, lowering feed costs and nitrogen excretion into the environment.
Enhances Growth Performance: Increases average daily gain. (ADG), improves feed conversion ratio (FCR), and optimizes carcass quality (lean meat percentage).
Supports Metabolic Functions: Essential for protein synthesis, collagen formation, enzyme production, and immune function.
