Unravelling the roles of non-essential amino acids

While essential amino acids are vital for poultry health, non-essential amino acids play equally important roles in supporting various physiological functions. These amino acids contribute significantly to overall performance and productivity.

  • Alanine: Increase the carnosine concentration in the muscles.
  • Aspartic Acid: synthesising proteins and regulating hormones.
  • Glutamic Acids: minimise heat stress and enhance the morphology of the duodenal mucosa.
  • Hydroxyproline: collagen synthesis and animal growth.
  • Proline: Cell Signalling, stress protection, and energy production.
  • Glycine + Serine: Provide essential precursors for the synthesis of proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids.
