How to choose amino acid feed additives

Amino acid feed additives play an important role in feed, but because of the relatively high price and most of them are imported products, care should be taken in the selection of products. Uqf China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serving animal husbandry

When selecting amino acid additives, carefully check the outer packaging, smell, color, etc. of the product, and carefully judge the quality of the product. Amino acid additives are currently used in livestock and poultry animals, especially in young animal stages. The amino acids required by ruminants can be synthesized by themselves, so there is no difference between limiting amino acids and non-limiting amino acids, and amino acid additives can be used instead of aquatic products. The utilization rate of amino acids is not high, so the utilization of chemical amino acids in aquatic products is still in the exploration stage and should be used with caution.

Before using amino acid additives, it is necessary to know the effective content and potency. For example, the lysine feed additive is mostly L-lysine hydrochloride, the content is 98% or more, and the actual L-lysine content is about 78%. The potency can be calculated as 100%; the DL-lysine potency can only be calculated at 50%. Uqf China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serving animal husbandry

At the same time, it is necessary to consider the balance and antagonism between the amino acids. The variety and concentration of amino acids in the feed need to meet the nutritional requirements of the animal. When the amino acid variety or concentration in the feed is unreasonable, it will affect the effective use of other amino acids, especially when the content of one amino acid in the feed is too large, it is easier to reduce the overall amino acid utilization rate and feed utilization rate.

Most of the amino acids added to the feed are essential amino acids. The first and second limiting amino acids should be added to the standard. Only when the content of the first limiting amino acid reaches the standard can the second and other limiting amino acids be more Good use. Therefore, when adding an amino acid additive, the requirement of the first limiting amino acid should be satisfied first, and then other limiting amino acids are considered in turn.
