L-Arginine Feed Grade Supplier South Africa

What is Arginine?

L-Arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid particularly important for rapidly growing young animals, including poultry chicks and swine piglets. It serves as a substrate for nitric oxide synthesis, creatine, and polyamine production, making it critical for immune competence, vascular function, and tissue repair. Feed-grade arginine is supplied as a high-purity white crystalline powder.

In poultry, arginine cannot be synthesised endogenously and is the most limiting amino acid in chick diets formulated with plant proteins low in arginine relative to lysine. Supplementation supports intestinal development, immune cell proliferation, and disease resistance. In swine, arginine is important for reproductive performance, embryo survival, and piglet growth, and is increasingly used in high-health herd programs.
