L-Threonine
Supports intestinal mucin production and gut barrier integrity; usually the second-limiting amino acid.
Introduction
L-Threonine 98% is an essential amino acid that is typically the second or third limiting amino acid in poultry and swine diets, following Methionine and Lysine. Its primary biological function is the maintenance of intestinal health and integrity. Threonine is a major component of mucin, the glycoprotein that forms the protective mucus layer lining the gastrointestinal tract. This barrier is the first line of defense against pathogens and toxins. By ensuring adequate Threonine intake, producers can support gut barrier function, reduce the incidence of intestinal inflammation, and improve nutrient absorption. This is especially important in young animals and in production systems where enteric challenges are common.
Functions and Applications
- Supports intestinal mucin production.
- Maintains gut barrier integrity.
- Essential for optimal growth after Methionine and Lysine.
