What determines the level of lysine used in Ultium, Strategy, the Omolenes and Equine Junior?
A. Equine research provides estimates of the daily requirements for lysine by different classes of horses. Many studies on amino acid requirements of horses have also been conducted at the Purina Horse Research Center. Based on the information available, Purina horse feeds are formulated so that the requirement for lysine is met when the feed is fed as recommended. Then further studies are conducted at the Purina Horse Research Center and with research cooperators to confirm that the feeds perform as expected before they are marketed. Return to Top Q.
