L-Valine
CAS Number: 72-18-4
L-Valine is a branched-chain essential amino acid that becomes the fifth limiting amino acid in highly fortified swine diets and is important for muscle protein synthesis and immune function. Supplementation is especially relevant when sow milk replacers and high-lysine piglet diets are formulated. Our feed-grade product is produced via microbial fermentation with consistently high purity.
