Include L-Tryptophan in Animal Feed for Increased Feed Efficiency

L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid for all animals. Tryptophan is always limiting in most commercial diets for pigs & poultry, meaning their feed based on cereals and vegetable proteins do not contain enough of this amino acid. It must be provided in the feed of monogastric animals in the form of intact proteins or as feed-grade L-tryptophan.

In animals, tryptophan improves animal’s performance. For example, tryptophan improves growth performance, reduces stress and regulates insulin, synthesizes protein in the muscles, and improves meat quality. For poultry, tryptophan serves as a niacin precursor and melatonin and serotonin precursors.

Benefits of Tryptophan

• Increases Feed Intake
• Increases Feed Efficiency
• Reduce Crude Protein Levels in Diets Without Impact on Animal Growth Performance, particularly low Protein diets for post-weaned Piglets.
• Improve the Growth Rate & helps in Weight Gain.
• Enhance the Overall Growth, even under stressful conditions for the Immune System such as Depression and Deteriorated Hygiene Conditions.
