Isoleucine, also known as “isoleucine”, is named as“ α – Amino group- β- Methylvaleric acid “, the chemical formula is C6H13NO2.

Isoleucine is a white crystalline flake or crystalline powder, slightly bitter and odorless.

It is an aliphatic neutral amino acid. As feed additive to meet the requirements of target animals like Cattle, Chicken, Dog, Horse, Pigs and fish.

To participate in synthesis of tissue proteins, vitamins, enzymes and hormones taking part in nitrogen, carbohydrate and fat metabolisms.

 

The role of isoleucine addition in feed is mainly reflected in promoting animal growth, development and reproduction, improving meat quality, and optimizing feed efficiency and economic benefits. ‌

Isoleucine is one of the essential amino acids and makes an important contribution to the growth, development and reproduction of animals. Adding isoleucine to feed can:

Promote animal growth and development: Isoleucine can promote protein synthesis in animals and improve nutrient utilization, thereby accelerating animal growth and development.
‌
Improve meat quality: The addition of isoleucine can improve meat quality, making it more tender and delicious. This is of great significance for improving the market competitiveness of meat products.
‌
Optimize feed efficiency and economic benefits: Adding isoleucine as a nutritional supplement to low-protein diets can not only reduce the amount of high-value plant protein, but also reduce the amount of fecal nitrogen emissions while ensuring the amino acid needs of animals, optimize the efficiency and economy of feed, and thus bring cost-effectiveness. ‌
In addition, isoleucine also has the function of regulating the body’s immunity and can alleviate the inflammatory response induced by pathogenic microorganisms. This characteristic is of great significance in improving animal health and disease resistance.
