Pure Lysine

Pure Lysine contains only pure l-lysine HCl, a super-concentrated source of the essential amino acid most often deficient in horses’ diets. According to the National Research Council, “Inadequate protein or lysine intake results in decreased growth and development of young animals. Inadequate intake of protein or required amino acids by mature horses may lead to reduced feed intake, body tissue loss, poor hair coat, and reduced hoof growth.”

Pure Lysine can dramatically increase the quality and availability of the protein in the horse’s diet, without significantly increasing the crude protein percentage. Pure Lysine is especially recommended for equine diets low in alfalfa, clover, and soy. Recommended Feeding: Foals and weanlings up to one year: 1 scoop (3 grams l-lysine) per day. Mature horses: 1 to 3 scoops daily. Broodmares, horses in heavy training or competition: 2 to 3 scoops daily. Increase feeding of large breeds proportionately according to body weight in excess of 1,000 pounds. 4 gram scoop included.
