Description
Threonine provides a high-quality source of energy and serves as a regulator of feed intake and digestion, resulting in improved gut health and a stronger immune system. It contributes to skeletal muscle development and supports weight gain. L-threonine is also responsible for reducing nitrogen excretion into the environment. In low crude protein diets for pigs, threonine is a desirable performance-enhancing additive.
| Physical and chemical characteristics | Value |

The shelf life of threonine is 2 years. The product should be stored in a dry place at a temperature below 25 ° С.
Feed threonine is an important ingredient in animal nutrition. The product is added to feed premixes to maintain the desired level of threonine, which may be insufficient in other protein sources. It is added to feed for poultry, pigs and aquaculture.
In medicine and supplementation, it is a component of human dietary supplements, supporting protein metabolism and the health of the digestive and immune systems.
Threonine is also important in human nutrition research, where it helps understand the impact of amino acids on health and development.
