Valine is one of the essential branched-chain amino acids for animals and is often used in feed nutritionImportant limiting amino acidsIts core function isIt participates in protein synthesis, regulates the lactation performance of mammals, and serves as an energy source to maintain the body's balance during stress.
Specifically, its main functions include:
Support protein deposition and muscle growthIt is a key raw material for the synthesis of body protein and muscle, especially in the later growth stage and fattening stage, where the demand is particularly significant.
Improve the lactation performance of sowsIt is the most abundant essential amino acid in milk, directly affecting milk production, milk fat percentage and milk protein content, and is crucial for the survival and growth of piglets.
Provide energy and anti-stressUnder stress conditions such as hunger and disease, it can be directly oxidized by muscles for energy supply, which helps to reduce the breakdown of body proteins.
Balance the proportion of amino acidsIn low-protein diets, maintaining an appropriate proportion with lysine, threonine, etc. can maximize protein utilization efficiency and reduce nitrogen emissions
