Physiological function:
Lysine regulates metabolic balance. Lysine provides the structural components for the synthesis of carnitine, which promotes the synthesis of fatty acids in cells. Adding a small amount of lysine to food can stimulate the secretion of pepsin and gastric acid, improve the secretion of gastric juice, play a role in increasing appetite, and promote the growth and development of animals or people.Lysine is the first limiting amino acid in pig feed, although it cannot be synthesized by itself in pig body, it is closely related to the growth of pig. Lysine is involved in the synthesis of proteins in pigs, fat metabolism and the formation of carnitine, etc. In addition, lysine is also conducive to the absorption of calcium in the body, contributes to the formation of enzymes, hormones and antibodies, and enhances the body's immunity. Therefore, in the practice of pig production, dietary lysine supplementation can affect the growth performance, carcass quality, immune function, serological parameters and nutrient digestibility of pigs.
