Using ADM’s innovative fermentation technology, we convert the dextrose derived from corn processing into the essential amino acids, lysine and threonine. These amino acids are critical in formulating a variety of diets that optimize performance, while still addressing environmental concerns. By utilizing our comprehensive research and development programs, we can also show you ways to add value with threonine in aquaculture rations and lysine in cattle milk replacers. Our amino acid product portfolio includes:
ADM L-Lysine - HCI
Many feedstuffs are low in lysine and may require lysine supplementation to make up for the deficiency. In swine and poultry diets supplemental lysine allows the producer to reduce crude protein in the diet, thereby reducing nitrogen excretion and pollution. This 100% isomerically pure lysine is a very high quality amino acid that has been used in the feed industry for many years. Our lysine is 100% bioavailable. Within biological systems, lysine aids in protein synthesis, ketogenesis, gluconeogenesis, and acid/base balance.
ADM L-Threonine
ADM’s L-Threonine is a superior amino acid. It is composed of 100% isomerically pure L-threonine, which translates into 100% bioavailability for animals. Threonine is metabolically significant in skeletal muscle growth, digestive enzymes and immune proteins (present at a high concentration), energy sources (via TCAcycle), and is a precursor of glycine. Many grains and other feedstuffs are low in threonine and require threonine supplementation to make up for the deficiency. This is especially critical when using wheat, barley, or sorghum as primary grain sources.
