Valine
Chemical name: 1-2-Amino-3-methylbutyric acid
Specification: USP4/USP/USP/SJI/EP/CP
Properties: This product is white crystalline powder, tasteless and soluble in water. The pH value is 5.5-7.0
Action mechanism and application:
Valine is one of the branched chain amino acids, which cannot be synthesized by animals themselves. It must be taken from the diet to meet its nutritional needs. Therefore, it is an essential amino acid. It mainly has the following Functions:
1. The addition of valine in the diet of lactating sows can improve the lactation. Its mechanism is that valine can affect the production of alanine and its release from muscle. The addition of valine to sow diet can increase alanine in plasma to meet the demand of breast tissue for glucose raw materials, so as to improve lactation. Valine is of great significance to the production and development of mammary gland, and valine is a limiting amino acid in the protein diet of lactating sows. Valine deficiency can reduce the effect of lysine. Adding lysine to the diet of lactating sows can improve the feed quantity and protein quality, but it also leads to the lack of valine, which will affect the milk yield of sows and the weight gain of piglets. When the level of lysine is high, valine becomes the first limiting amino acid.
2. Improve the immune function of animals. Valine can promote the transformation of Animal Skeletal T cells into mature T cells. Valine deficiency can reduce the levels of complement C3 and transferrin, significantly hinder the growth of thymus and peripheral lymphoid tissue, and inhibit the growth of acidic and neutrophils. Chicks lack valine and their antibody response to Newcastle disease virus is reduced.
3. Affect animal endocrine level.
Packing specification: 25kg / barrel; validity: two years; storage: stored in a ventilated, cool, low-temperature and dry place.
Valine is one of the 20 amino acids that make up proteins, the chemical name is 2-amino-3-methylbutyric acid, belongs to the branched chain amino acids, also eight amino acids and sugar amino acids essential for the human body, it works with other two high concentration amino acids (isoleucine and leucine) to promote normal body growth, repair tissues, regulate blood sugar, and provide the energy needed.
