L-tryptophan

L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid for all animals. As it happens, tryptophan is practically always limiting in most commercial diets for pigs and poultry, meaning their feeds based on cereals and vegetable proteins do not contain enough natural form of this amino acid.

Description

In animals, tryptophan improves animal’s performance. For example, tryptophan improves growth performance, reduces stress and regulates insulin, synthesizes protein in the muscles, and improves meat quality. It must be provided in the feed of monogastric animals in the form of intact proteins or as feed-grade L-tryptophan. The role of tryptophan lies beyond protein synthesis to include biological functions such as appetite regulation and control of sleep via its metabolite serotonin. Modern research indicates that tryptophan may be implicated even in immune defense systems.

Benefits & Uses of L – Tryptophan

  • Tryptophan improves feed efficiency and growth
  • Tryptophan supplementation towards the end of the growing or laying period can reduce bird stress during handling and transport 
  • The amino acid serves as a precursor for serotonin and melatonin and play a major role in reducing stress-related behaviours, such as feather pecking in laying hens, as well as poultry gut health.
  • It is recommended to add L-Tryptophan in diet to achieve the optimal amino acid balance and fulfil the digestible tryptophan requirement of animals, especially piglets, sows and poultry etc.
