Product Description

Threonine is an amino acid that is essential for the human and animal body and plays various critical roles. It participates in protein biosynthesis, immune function, and maintains normal physiological functions of digestive organs. The primary use of threonine in the animal industry is as an additive to their feed, which is aimed at improving growth performance and feed efficiency. It can also be added to human nutrition, amino acid drugs, and other specified needs. The key benefits of threonine mainly cover muscle development, liver disease damage repair, and immune responses.   

There are two significant kinds of threonine additives, including the natural one, which is called L-threonine, and the other kind that is fabricated chemically, known as D-threonine. L-threonine is the main form found in the practice of animal and human nutrition since the form is comparatively stable and performs with good bioavailability. By incorporating threonine into diets, producers can achieve better growth rates in livestock, reduce feed costs, and promote overall health, making it a crucial component in modern nutritional strategies.
