| L-Threonine |
| All livestock
depend on a dietary supply of threonine. Threonine is an
important building block in the chain of protein synthesis.
Being an essential amino acid, threonine is needed in high
concentrations in enzymes and hormons. |
| The content of
nutritive available threonine fluctuates in ingredients for
feed composition significantly. Especially low in theonine
content are grains, therefore diets based on the high grain
content may cause the deficency of threonine. In such case,
the application of industrialy produced L-Threonine is
strongly recommended. |
| As for
L-Threonine, Fermas is one of three producers in the world
manufacturing this product. |
|
| The product |
| L-Threonine Feed
Grade from Degussa is a crystalline powder with a purity of
not less than 98,5% on a dry matter basis. |

| The EU Feed
Legislative Regulation approves L-Threonine from Degussa for
all animal species. It can be applied in compound feeds and
premixes. The properties of product guarantee for
homogeneous mixing. |
|
| The application |
| The latest
results of scientific research emphasize a growing
importance of threonine application for the nutrition of
livestock, especially of piglets and of growing pigs. An
amino acid profile for the feed protein, that was developed
after a large number of experiments and has been proved
successfully in p in ingredients for feed composition
ractical feeding, is described as the "Ideal Protein
Concept". This concept stipulates the optimal ratio of
the essential amino acids for swine. The values are usually
given as percentage of the lysine value. |
| According our
best knowledge, the amino acid contents in a pig feed should
follow the relative rations given below: |
|
| Lysine |
100 |
| Threonine |
66 |
| Methionine |
33 |
| Methionine +
cystine |
60 |
| Tryptophan |
20 |
|
| The advantages |
- increase in the biological
value of the feed protein
- lower variation in the
threonine content of the complete feed
- optimal formulation of an
ideal amino acid profile ratio
- full utilization of the
supplemented L-Threonine Feed Grade
- possibility of increased use
of raw materials low in threonine
- decrease in nitrogen excretion
- improved housing conditions by
reduced ammonia load
- reduced enviromental pollution

| Production |
Since the year
1994, the production per year has been increasing and
reached today's plant capacity 4.000 tons per year. Today,
we supply about 20-25% of the world market's need.
