The Role of Feed Lysine and the Identification Method of True and False Lysine

1. The role of lysine in feed

Lysine, also known as growth amino acid, is an essential substance for synthesizing animal tissue proteins, and is also the main component of important substances such as enzymes, hormones, and antibodies in the body. Adding lysine supplements to pig feed can significantly improve the growth performance of piglets, relieve stress response, and reduce diarrhea rate, which will increase the protein deposition rate of fattening pigs, reduce pig backfat thickness, and significantly increase eye muscle area and lean meat deposition. Increasing the amount of lysine in the diet of sows during lactation can significantly increase the survival rate, litter weight gain, weaning individual weight and individual daily weight gain of piglets, and improve the lactation performance of sows.

2. Identification method of true and false lysine

(1) Appearance identification

True lysine: white or light yellow or light brown powder or random small granules, tasteless or slightly sour, sweet and sour, without astringency.

Adulterated lysine: abnormal color and odor, some have ammonia stimulation or aromatic odor, taste impurity-like astringency, and taste is not correct.

(2) Difference in solubility

True lysine: easily soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol and ether.

Adulterated lysine: insoluble in water, with sediment or float.

(3) Burning identification

True lysine: Immediately after ignition, it emits an unpleasant special odor similar to that produced when burning feathers, and it can be quickly burned without residue. The smoke from combustion is an alkaline gas that can turn wet pH paper blue.

Adulterated lysine: incomplete combustion, with obvious residue, or no such odor or less odor when burned.

Hongmao is mainly engaged in deep processing projects of agricultural and sideline products such as corn starch, glucose, DMH, fructose, sorbitol, trehalose, lysine, threonine, tryptophan, citric acid and vitamin C. Hongmao uses advanced lysine production technology to produce different types of lysine and pure organic lysine supplements. The characteristic of our lysine plant is that its processes mainly include saccharification, fermentation, separation, refining, concentration, crystallization, centrifugation and drying.
