L-Threonine Feed Grade Supplier South Africa

What is L-Threonine?

L-Threonine is an essential amino acid required by all monogastric livestock species. Feed-grade L-Threonine is produced by fermentation and supplied as a fine white crystalline powder with a minimum purity of 98.5%. It is a key component in least-cost diet formulation for swine and poultry where the third limiting amino acid position must be addressed after lysine and methionine.

Role in Animal Nutrition

Threonine is the predominant amino acid in gut mucin proteins, making it particularly important for intestinal barrier integrity and immune defence in young animals. In swine diets, threonine supplementation improves feed conversion and nitrogen utilisation, enabling crude protein reduction while sustaining growth performance. It also plays an important role in antibody synthesis and overall immune responsiveness in poultry.
