Glycine (abbreviated as Gly), also known as aminoacetic acid

Description

Glycine (abbreviated as Gly), also known as aminoacetic acid, is a non essential amino acid with the chemical formula of C₂H₅NO₂. Glycine is an amino acid composed of endogenous antioxidant reduced glutathione. It is often supplemented by exogenous sources in case of severe stress, sometimes called semi essential amino acid.

Applications

1. It is mainly used as an additive and attractant to increase amino acids in the feed for poultry, livestock and poultry, especially pets. It is used as an additive of hydrolyzed protein and a synergist of hydrolyzed protein;
2.Glycine in feed additive, not only is the main nutritional supplements in the livestock and poultry feed ingredients, feed can also prevent the oxidation, extending freshness.In addition, the emerging of canned pet feed animals also contains glycine.
