L-TRYPTOPHAN 98.5% (FEED GRADE)
L-Tryptophan can participate in the renewal of plasma proteins in animals, promote the role of riboflavin, contribute to the synthesis of nicotinic acid and heme, significantly increase the antibodies in fetuses of pregnant animals, and promote the lactation of dairy cows and sows during lactation. When livestock and poultry lack tryptophan, growth stagnates, body weight decreases, fat accumulation decreases, and testicles of breeding males shrink. It is used in medicine as a preventive and therapeutic agent for leprosy. L-Tryptophan is one of essential amino acids and the fourth limiting amino acid in animal diets, which means it could not be synthesized by the body, in addition, dietary supply through feed materials is usually insufficient. The deficiency of L-Tryptophan was generally characterized as decreased feed intake and efficiency, and slow growth rate. Considering L-Tryptophan playing a key role in growth performance and feed efficiency, it is recommended to add L-Tryptophan in diet to achieve the optimal amino acid balance and fulfill the digestible tryptophan requirement of animals, especially piglets, sows and poultry etc.
L-Tryptophan in feed can offer following benefits for the industry, which have been proven by abundant trials and research.
- # Increase the feed intake.
- # Optimize the amino acid profile in feed, particularly essential amino acid profile
- # Reduce crude protein level in diets without impact on animal growth performance, particularly low protein diets for postweaned piglets
- # Improve the growth rate, weight gain and feed efficiency.
