What is L-Valine ?

L-Valine is a essential amino acid. Animals and people cannot synthesize themselves. They can be supplemented by the source of diet. Its natural food sources include grains, dairy products, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, peanuts, soy protein and meat.

Adult men need to quantity 10mg/(kg · d). The physiological effect of the L-type is twice the D-type. Such as lack of neurological disorders, stop development, weight loss, anemia, etc. As a nutritional supplementary agent, amino acid infusion and integrated amino acid preparations can be prepared with other essential amino acids.

L-Valine has a significant improvement of milk production of sows during milk, which can indirectly increase the daily weight gain of piglets and can be used as feed additives.

Function in Sow Feed

L-Valineplays a role in increasing lactation in breastfeeding diets. When L-Valineis added in sow diets, the content of alanine in the plasma will increase. In order to meet the demand for glucose raw materials for mammary tissue, the amount of lactation will increase. L-Valine also has a very important role in the development of breasts. The required amount of L-Valine is higher than the recommended amount of breeding standards and is related to the level of lysine. Adding lysine to lactating sin pigs can improve the quality of protein in the protein, but it also causes lack of L-Valine, which will affect the milk production of sow and the weight of piglets. When the lysine content in the feed exceeds 0.8%, L-Valine becomes the first restricted amino acid.

Commonly Recommended ration is 0.3%
