Uses: It is an essential amino acid for the human body. It is used in medicine as one of the components of amino acid infusion, to synthesize new drugs, and also as a food additive. For biochemical research, preparation of tissue culture medium.

 

The main role of feed additives

1. Adding L-valine to the diet of lactating sows can increase lactation. Its mechanism of action is that valine can affect the synthesis of alanine and its release from muscle. Adding valine to the diet of sows can increase the alanine in plasma to meet the demand of mammary gland tissue for glucose raw materials, thereby Improve milk production. Valine is of great significance to the production and development of mammary glands, and valine is a limiting amino acid in the protein diet of lactating sows, and the lack of valine can reduce the effect of lysine. Although valine can improve the quality of dietary protein, it also causes valine deficiency, which in turn affects the milk production of sows and the weight gain of piglets. At higher lysine levels, valine will be the first limiting amino acid.

2. Improve the immune function of animals. Valine can promote the transformation of animal bone cells into mature T cells. Valine deficiency can reduce the levels of complement C3 and transferrin, which will significantly hinder the growth of thymus and peripheral lymphoid tissue, and the growth of acidic and neutrophil cells has been inhibited. When weaned piglets lack valine, it will lead to a decrease in the ability to synthesize specific antibodies. Chicks deficient in valine had a reduced antibody response to Newcastle disease virus.

3. Affect the endocrine level of animals. Studies have shown that adding valine to the diet of lactating sows and rats can increase the concentration of prolactin and growth hormone in plasma.
