Threonine (Thr):

• Essential amino acid for animals.
• Limiting amino acid in swine and poultry diets.
• Plays a vital role in nutritional metabolism, macromolecular biosynthesis, and gut homeostasis.
• Typically the third limited amino acid in broiler diets.

Importance of Adequate Digestible Thr:

• Needed for optimum growth, immune response, and gastrointestinal mucin production.
• Experimental analysis indicates its importance in feed conversion ratio (FCR) and body weight gain.

Correction of L-Threonine Deficiency:

• Adding L-Threonine significantly improves live weight gain and carcass characteristics.
• Numerically improves feed conversion ratio and breast weight.
• Correcting the deficit with crude protein has no significant effect.

Environmental Impact:

• L-Threonine supplementation reduces environmental burden.
• Reduces litter nitrogen and moisture content.

Benefits

• Helps Overcome Stress.
• Increases Feed Efficiency.
• Increases Resistance to Disease.
• Increases Weight Gain in Broiler.
• Improves Fertility and Hatchability in Breeders.
• Improves Growth and Egg Production in Layers.
