What is L-lysine hydrochloride ?

Feed grade L-lysine hydrochloride is a very wide range of amino acids, it is an amino acid that cannot be synthesised by the animal body itself and must be absorbed directly from the feed supplement, it is the most important of the eight essential amino acids in the animal body, so it is also called "the first limiting amino acid".

Why to add L-lysine hydrochloride in feed

The content of L-lysine in cereals is very low, and it is easy to be destroyed in the process, so it is easy to lack, so L-lysine is the first limiting amino acid in cereal crops. L-lysine as an essential amino acid, such as the lack of protein metabolism disorders and dysfunction, resulting in animal growth disorders, underdevelopment, weight loss, loss of appetite, reduced protein in the blood, slow growth of the nerve balance disorders, the reduction of subcutaneous fat, bone calcification disorders and so on. There is another characteristic of amino acid utilisation in animals, that is, only when the first limiting amino acid is satisfied, the second and other limiting amino acids can be better utilised.

How does L-lysine hydrochloride work in feed?

As a kind of additive missing in common feeds, L-lysine can make animal nutrition balance, adding appropriate amount of amino acid in feeds can improve the utilisation rate of protein, realise the balance of amino acid, promote the development of animals, enhance immunity, improve the function of central nervous tissue and so on. Supplementation of amino acids in feed can improve the performance of animals, improve the quality of pork and increase the rate of lean meat.

Precautions

Add L-lysine in feed, need to pay attention to L-lysine has a bitter taste, will affect the piglet's feed intake, so, need to control the quantity when adding; Secondly, when using L-lysine and methionine as additives can be used as a carrier pre-mixed, the ratio of amino acid to carrier is 1:44; In addition, L-lysine should be properly stored in the process of use, pay attention to the protection from light, moisture, high temperature, insect pests, it is best to use the amino acid at once for the opening of the seal. It is better to use up the unsealed amino acid in one time, and seal it when it is not used up to avoid deterioration of amino acid in storage.
