L-Lysine: function and usage

Lysine, also known as growth amino acid, isan essential substance for synthesizing animal tissue protein, and is also themain component of important substances such as enzymes, hormones, andantibodies in the body. Adding lysine to pig feed can significantly improve thegrowth performance of piglets. Relieving stress and reducing the rate ofdiarrhea will increase the protein deposition rate of fattening pigs, reducethe back fat thickness of pigs, and significantly increase the area of eyemuscles and lean meat deposition. Increasing the amount of lysine in the sowduring lactation in the diet can significantly increase the survival rate ofthe piglet, the daily weight gain of the litter, the weaned weight and thedaily weight gain of the individual, and the lactation performance of the sow.
