- Poultry: 0.2–0.8 kg/ton of feed
- Swine: 0.3–1.2 kg/ton of feed
- Aquaculture: 0.4–1.0 kg/ton of feed
*Note: Adjust dosage according to species-specific requirements or veterinary guidance.
Additional Notes / Precautions: Avoid excessive protein intake when administered via drinking water.
Compatibility & Contraindications
Compatible With
- Amino Acids: Lysine, methionine, tryptophan.
- Vitamins: A, D, E, K, and B-complex vitamins.
- Minerals: Calcium carbonate, phosphates, zinc oxide (at recommended levels).
- Acidifiers: Citric acid, formic acid, lactic acid.
- Probiotics/Prebiotics: Bacillus subtilis, yeast extracts.
Contraindications
- Alkaline Substances: (e.g., sodium bicarbonate, excess limestone) May reduce bioavailability by altering pH.
- Strong Oxidizing Agents: (e.g., potassium permanganate) Risk of chemical degradation.
- Hygroscopic Additives: (e.g., choline chloride) Pre-mix with a dry carrier (e.g., wheat middlings) to prevent moisture absorption.
- High Copper/Zinc Sulphate Levels: May chelate threonine, reducing absorption.
- Direct Contact with Moisture: Store away from humid environments to avoid caking.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is L-Threonine?
L-Threonine is an essential amino acid used as a feed additive to optimize animal diets. It supports protein synthesis, immune function, and intestinal health in livestock and poultry. The feed-grade product typically contains 98-99% pure L-Threonine in crystalline or powder form.
2. Why supplement diets with L-Threonine?
Threonine is often the third limiting amino acid in poultry and swine diets. Supplementation corrects deficiencies, improves feed efficiency, enhances growth rates, and reduces nitrogen excretion, supporting sustainable farming practices.
3. Is L-Threonine safe for animals?
Yes, it is safe and non-toxic when used as directed. Over-supplementation may disrupt amino acid balance; adhere to recommended levels.
4. Can L-Threonine replace other amino acid supplements?
No—it is designed to complement, not replace, other essential amino acids (e.g., lysine, methionine). Balance with other amino acids to meet dietary requirements.
5. What is the shelf life and recommended storage for L-Threonine?
L-Threonine has a shelf life of 24 months. It must be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, moisture, and potential contaminants. Once opened, keep the packaging tightly sealed.
6. What substances should not be mixed directly with L-Threonine?
Avoid direct mixing with alkaline substances (e.g., sodium bicarbonate) which alter pH and reduce bioavailability, strong oxidizing agents, high levels of copper/zinc sulphate, and hygroscopic additives like choline chloride unless pre-mixed with a dry carrier.
