3. L-Lysine HCL 98.5% Applications:

Lysine production for animal feed is a major global industry, reaching in 2009 almost 700,000

tonnes for a market value of over €1.22 billion. Lysine is an important additive to animal feed

because it is a limiting amino acid when optimizing the growth of certain animals such as pigs

and chickens for the production of meat. Lysine supplementation allows for the use of lower-cost plant protein (maize, for instance, rather than soy) while maintaining high growth rates,

and limiting the pollution from nitrogen excretion. In turn, however, phosphate pollution is a

major environmental cost when corn is used as feed for poultry and swine.

Lysine is industrially produced by microbial fermentation, from a base mainly of sugar. Genetic

engineering research is actively pursuing bacterial strains to improve the efficiency of production

and allow lysine to be made from other substrates.
