Why are amino acid feed additives so popular in the market?

As the global population continues to grow, so does the demand for meat, egg and dairy products. Balanced animal nutrition ensures people's healthy nutritional intake, so the feed industry increasingly uses amino acids as additives.

Like vitamins, amino acids are essential for human and animal survival because they are the building blocks for protein production. Protein is indispensable for muscle tissue, hair, and skin, and plays a role in maintaining basic metabolism.

Among different biological categories, about 8-10 amino acids cannot be synthesized by the organism itself, but must be taken in from food every day, and they are easily converted into fat. The human body can maintain health only by taking in a balanced intake of these substances contained in daily food. If there are not enough amino acids, protein synthesis will stop, which will lead to insufficient supply of nutrients.

The lowest amount of a certain amino acid required by the animal will determine the nutritional value of the protein. A large amount of soybean meal and fish meal must be added to cereal feeds such as wheat and corn to ensure a sufficient supply of amino acids. However, in such high-protein feeds, only part of the protein can be converted into milk, eggs or poultry meat. But the addition of amino acids, in only small proportions, can result in feeds containing more grains and less protein.

The popular amino acid products of Henan Brilliant Biotech Co.,Ltd, such as L-lysine, DL-Methionine, L-Glycine, L-Isoleucine, Tryptophan etc., are the main amino acids in advanced animal nutrition ingredients and play a big role in the healthy growth of animals.
