L-arginine produced with Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80393 (3c366)

What it is. Essential amino acid produced by fermentation using Corynebacterium glutamicum KCCM 80393. The feed additive is a solid form containing at least 98.5% L-arginine on a dry matter basis.

What it is for. Used to supplement L-arginine in animal feed, allowing formulators to meet requirements without relying solely on protein raw materials. Suitable for all animal species, as an addition to compound feed, premixtures, or drinking water. It is of particular interest in low-protein diets or in rations where the arginine content of raw materials is insufficient relative to the animal's physiological stage.

Points to watch. Storage conditions, thermal processing stability, and stability in drinking water must be stated in the instructions for use of the additive and premixtures. No maximum inclusion level is specified in the regulatory annex; use should be adjusted according to total ration balance.
