L-Lysine is the second essential amino acid in poultry nutrition and has a direct relationship with muscle development and, ultimately, feed conversion ratio (FCR). Using lysine in poultry feed can help reduce the diet’s crude protein level, lower feed cost, improve flock health, and reduce nitrogen excretion into the environment.
L-Lysine HCl from Dong Xiao (China) is supplied as highly uniform fine granules, ranging in color from white to light brown. Compared with many alternatives, this uniform granulation provides excellent mixability, supporting better blending in concentrate production and poultry feed manufacturing. Dong Xiao lysine has a purity of 98.5% L-lysine hydrochloride, which corresponds to 78% L-lysine (amino acid).
