L-valine is an essential amino acid belonging, along with leucine and isoleucine, to the group of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). The product is available as a white, crystalline powder with a neutral taste and odourless character, making it easy to combine with other feed ingredients.
The amino acid valine is particularly important in the nutrition of pigs and poultry, as it becomes a limiting amino acid in a protein-deficient diet. The addition of L-valine to feed supports optimal animal development and allows for the effective use of modern feed formulations.
