Balchem introduces rumen-protected lysine

Dr. Dana Putnam, vice president and general manager of Balchem Animal
Nutrition & Health: “The product permits precise ration formulations that
more closely approximate the animal’s lysine requirements without the excesses
of crude protein that typically accompany the lysine found in conventional feed
ingredients. This opens the door to higher milk production with desired milk
component levels and, equally important, to less nitrogen excreted as
waste”.

During the past 20 years, many companies have tried to develop a
rumen-protected lysine, but without success. Balchem said its Aminoshure-L is
the culmination of an intensive six-year research program to allow lysine to
successfully bypass the rumen and reach the small intestine, where it is readily
released and absorbed. The development of AminoShure-L benefits from Balchem’s
growing proprietary encapsulation technology.
