LYSINE

Lysine is one of the amino acids that play an important role in pig nutrition.

Lysine is essential for the health and performance of these animals for various reasons:

1. Protein Synthesis: Lysine is one of the amino acids used in protein synthesis. It is necessary for the development and maintenance of muscle tissue, hair, skin and other important tissues in the body of monogastric animals.
2. Protein Conversion: Lysine helps convert protein into energy and store nitrogen, which is important for the efficient use of protein in the body.
3. Bone Health: Lysine participates in the absorption of calcium and the maintenance of bone health.

Livestock farmers must provide sufficient lysine in the diet of monogastric animals to ensure their health and efficient growth.
