ADM meets our customers’ growing amino acid needs with a worldwide transportation network, supplying the industry around the globe with high-quality, uniform feed-grade amino acids. For more efficient and economical production, genetically superior animals require properly fortified diets. A properly formulated diet will meet animals’ nutrient requirements while minimizing nutrient deficiencies and overages. Highly digestible amino acids in proper amounts are critical for lean meat production. Many feedstuffs are low in lysine, and diets may require lysine supplementation to make up for the deficiency. By using lysine along with threonine, non-traditional protein sources may be used, dietary protein can be lowered, and performance can be maintained or improved. Low-protein swine diets supplemented with crystalline amino acids have been shown to reduce nitrogen (N) excretion by 20-40%. Supplementing poultry diets with granular lysine is common. It complements the amino acids contained in other feed ingredients. Furthermore, incorporating both lysine and threonine into poultry diets can help lower dietary crude protein and reduce excess amino acids and nitrogen for more efficient and profitable production. Crystalline lysine may also be used to fortify diets and complement traditional protein sources in aquaculture diets. Supplementing lysine can also reduce crude protein, and thus nitrogen excretion. For more efficient and profitable animal, poultry and aquaculture production, turn to ADM and our high-quality amino acids. WHAT IS IT?
