Its unique composition of 51% lysine (equivalent to 65% feed-grade L-lysine sulfate) and less than 10% other amino acids makes it a superior choice for animal nutrition. In contrast, the everyday lysine series products in markets are mainly present in the following three forms: L-lysine hydrochloride, L-lysine sulfate, and liquid lysine.
Traditionally, adding lysine in the form of L-lysine hydrochloride to feed functions well indeed, but it brings tremendous environmental pollution in the production process and costs a lot. However, with the technology for producing 65% lysine, the cost per ton decreased to about $200 compared with lysine hydrochloride of the same biological potency. This significant cost reduction, achieved by implementing a 'locking loop process ', a cleaner production method that significantly reduces pollution, makes L-lysine sulfate a cost-effective choice. These changes not only bring both social and economic benefits, such as reduced waste and improved working conditions. The trial proved that 65% lysine added to the feed promotes pigs' productivity. Otherwise, 65% of amino acid is a compound, which implies there are more amino acids except lysine only in it, which contributes to weaned pigs’ digestive performance and, thereby, better digestibility.
