Lysine (symbol Lys or K)[2] is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated −NH3+ form under biological conditions), an α-carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated −COO− form under biological conditions), and a side chain lysyl ((CH2)4NH2), classifying it as a basic, charged (at physiological pH), aliphatic amino acid. It is encoded by the codons AAA and AAG. Like almost all other amino acids, the α-carbon is chiral and lysine may refer to either enantiomer or a racemic mixture of both. For the purpose of this article, lysine will refer to the biologically active enantiomer L-lysine, where the α-carbon is in the S configuration.Why add lysine to pig feed
*Lysine*
In order to maintain pig growth and health, farmers should have a good understanding of the protein levels found in different kinds of feed.
However, it is equally important to be aware of the *types of protein*—and the specific amino acids—that are present.
Pigs need the essential *amino acid lysine* in their diets.
Lysine is described as “essential” and, as it cannot be synthesized in the body, the pigs’ needs must be met from the diet.
Lysine is essential for *lean growth*. If the pigs’ *diet is high in energy, but provides insufficient lysine, the pigs will still grow;* however, they will be unable to lay down muscle and any increase in weight will come from fat deposition.
*(If you regularly find a high ratio of fat to meat at slaughter, you might want to examine the lysine levels in the diet.)*
Feeds that are high in *lysine include peas, field beans, soy and fishmeal. Whey, potatoes, vegetable waste and root crops* such as fodder beet are commonly used alternative feeds for pigs but are all low in lysine.
If these alternatives are fed, they must be balanced by protein supplements that include lysine to maintain pig growth and health.
