What Role Does L-threonine Play in Feed?

L-Threonine is an element necessary for the growth of many livestock. After this point was discovered, feed grade L-Threonine became more and more popular, and people's interest in the application of crystalline L-Threonine in various livestock production has gradually increased. It continues to appear in domestic and foreign science and technology magazines.

Here is the content list:

• Why L-Threonine is an important formula component of low-protein feed?

How L-Threonine grew into the character it is today?

From a crystalline amino acid that is considered to be inaccessible and insignificant, L-Threonine gradually grows into a product that is recognized and commonly used. The growth experience in our country has witnessed the feed industry in the past 10 years Rapid development and technological progress.

In 1995, a domestic feed additive manufacturer imported feed-grade L-Threonine for the first time, and the import volume that year was only 50 tons more or less. Ten years later, in 2005, the use of L-Threonine reached nearly 6000 tons, and the use of threonine increased by about 100 times.

During this period, the total output of feed products also increased from 43 million tons to 103 million tons. In 10 years, the popularity of L-Threonine is about 40 times. Time flies, and today, the rapid growth of the L-Threonine market is still eye-catching.

What are the magical uses of L-Threonine discovered so far?

Many functions of L-Threonine can be explained by the use of the protein it synthesizes. However, its role is far more than supplementing nutrition, it can also play a role in preventing diseases and regulating physiological functions.

• Protein deposition

First, L-Threonine is necessary for protein deposition. In the field of animal husbandry, this often means the body protein of the animal, or in layman's terms, the increase in weight. The development and growth of livestock can be compared to the process by which a baby grows into a young person.

In this regard, the role of L-Threonine is no different from that of amino acids, such as L lysine hydrochloride, except that the threonine required for protein deposition is not as much as L lysine hydrochloride.

• Digestive function

In the protein used for maintenance, the content of L-Threonine is greater than that of lysine, which is the opposite of the protein used for growth. This requirement is the amount an animal needs to maintain life activities without increasing or decreasing body weight.

This is because the most important maintenance organ is the digestive tract, and the various digestive enzymes secreted by the digestive system contain a large amount of threonine.

L-Threonine is essential to maintain the complete structure and active function of digestive enzymes, so it can be thought of the importance of L-Threonine to digestive function.

• Immune protection

In addition, L-Threonine is also very important for immune function. Like digestive enzymes, immunoglobulin is also rich in L-Threonine. In the maintenance state, of course animals cannot be knocked down by diseases, so in order to maintain immunity, L-Threonine is necessary.

Why L-Threonine is an important formula component of low-protein feed?

In the preparation of animal feed, a large amount of animal feed such as whey powder, milk powder, fish meal, will definitely increase the feeding cost; and if a large amount of plant feed is used, especially plant protein feed, it contains antigen components that cause the intestinal allergic reaction of livestock.

For that glycinin and beta-poly-globulin are easy to cause large quantities of diarrhea in young livestock, and even lead to death, which will bring considerable economic losses to the production field. Therefore, the most reliable method is to use L-Threonine crystal to balance protein levels in the diet.

Meanwhile, in the process of livestock breeding, feed cost accounts for a large proportion of the total cost. Keeping pace with the technological advancement of feed additives, many feed manufacturers have introduced fine low-protein feeds to replace the original high-protein feeds.

There are many companies that use L-Threonine additives to reduce the protein content of the original formula by two percentage points. This means that while tens of yuan can be saved per ton of feed, the livestock will be slaughtered according to the normal time.

Traditional livestock feeds that do not use feed grade L-Threonine often have the problem of wasting protein materials and increasing production costs. Every time Polifar Group reduces the protein content of high-protein feeds by 1%, it can save tens of kilograms of raw materials and give L-Threonine room to play a role.
