Regardless of the phase of growth, lysine is the first limiting amino acid for swine and balancing diets with crystalline L-lysine is a well-established practice around the world. There are two lysine sources available to nutritionists: L-lysine HCl and L-lysine sulfate.

Over the last couple of decades, resources have been utilized to determine the comparative nutritional efficacy of methionine hydroxy analogue free acid (MHA-FA) to its dry counterpart, DL-methionine (DL-Met). During this time, a multitude of research studies have evaluated sources of methionine and effectively raised DL-Met to be the “gold standard” source for its 100% availability.

Digital services and solutions are changing the way we live and work, and livestock production is no different. Here are five things you should know about Precision Livestock Farming (PLF)

‘Big data’ has been making headlines for some time now, but it’s not always clear how and why it impacts the industry, even if you know what it is.

Combining science-based expertise with intelligent software algorithms and consistent connectivity, it is possible to interlink previously disconnected areas of the production process.

Continuous collection and analysis of large volumes of farm data and biostatistics allows producers to get a much better grip on their systems and identify any weak spots.
