L-Lysine is a bioavailable source of the essential amino acid often missing from a horses diet. Supplementing feed rations with L-lysine can increase the quality and availablity of the protein in the diet without a major increase in crude protein of the feed ration.
L-Lysine and protein deficiencies in mature horses may result in decreased feed intake, body tissue loss, poor hair coat and reduced hoof growth. Deficiencies in in young horses may result in dcreased growth and developement.
For best results: Feed 1/2 ounce or 1 ounce per day as a top dress.
