Purchasing high-quality and competitively priced raw materials and additional products begins with understanding the needs and preferences of your formulation colleagues, as well as the complete and accurate specifications of the products you buy. Calculating and optimizing the optimal feed cannot be done without knowing the exact nutritional values.

Nutritional values of Lysine HCL and Sulphate

This is also crucial when buying amino acids. Having successfully started the sales of single amino acids this year, we invite you to challenge us with more in-depth technical questions and discussions regarding this subject.

In the table below, you will find a part of the nutritional values of Lysine HCL and Sulphate. Differences between these two, such as crude protein, a wider range of amino acids besides lysine, and minerals like sulphate, which affects manure consistency, should be taken into account when making your decision.


Not only nutritional differences

The form of the product can also influence your choice. Products with a more course particle size distribution like Sulfate compared with HCL, as well as variations between different producers, should be considered, especially in feeds for animals with low intake, such as young piglets and chicks.
