Lysine is an essential amino acid. Essential amino acids cannot be produced by the animal itself. This means the animal cannot produce lysine on its own. Because lysine cannot be produced by the animal itself, the animal must receive nutrition that makes this possible.

Function of lysine

Lysine is very important in muscle development and there is often a shortage of it. When there is a shortage of a certain amino acid that cannot be produced, it affects milk production, growth, or the immune system.
