Threonine

Threonine is an essential amino acid that plays an important role in animal nutrition. It is particularly important for protein synthesis, the support of growth, and the health of tissues and organs. As animals cannot synthesize threonine on their own, it must be supplied through their diet, making it a vital component in animal feed formulations, especially for swine and poultry.

Nutritional benefits

Threonine is important for maintaining the balance of proteins in the body, as it is a key building block of important proteins like collagen and elastin, which support skin, connective tissues, and muscles. It also contributes to immune function by stimulating the production of antibodies. In addition to its role in protein synthesis, threonine plays a role in the production of glycine and serine, other amino acids that are essential for various metabolic processes. Proper threonine levels in animal diets help improve feed efficiency, support gut health, and support growth performance. In young and rapidly growing animals, threonine is particularly important to ensure optimal development and muscle growth.
