L-Lysine HCL Feed Grade

Whatsapp Order

L-Lysine HCL Feed Grade is a highly pure form of the essential amino acid lysine combined with hydrochloric acid to improve its stability and solubility. It appears as a white crystalline powder and is widely used as a dietary supplement in animal feed to enhance growth, improve feed efficiency, and balance amino acid profiles. L-Lysine HCL is critical in poultry, swine, and aquaculture nutrition, helping to meet animals’ lysine requirements for protein synthesis and overall health.

Description
