Description
The nutritional effects of arginine
Arginine is one of the most critical amino acids in the urea cycle, which can promote the urea cycle and maintain the Nitrogen balance in the body. Research has shown that adding arginine to feed can increase nitrogen deposition in animals, increase daily weight gain, and improve feed conversion rate. The experiment proved that adding 0.3% arginine to the semi synthetic diet significantly increased the daily gain and feed conversion rate of piglets compared to the control group. It has also been confirmed that arginine has an impact on the growth performance of piglets. Adding 0.4% and 0.8% arginine to the diet has a trend of improving the daily and body weight gain of piglets, which has a promoting effect on their growth.

The Effect of Arginine on the Growth Performance of Animal Bodies1. Arginine is an essential amino acid for newborn mammals, which is a nutritional amino acid for maintaining optimal growth status and can achieve optimal growth performance in young mammals. Arginine helps improve vascular function and growth performance, and promotes nutrient absorption in the small intestine. Arginine stimulates the secretion of related hormones such as prolactin and GH, INS, and IGF-1 by stimulating the hypothalamus, pancreas, and adrenal glands of animal bodies, thereby affecting the growth performance and immune function of the body. For poultry, due to the lack of carbamoyl phosphate synthase in the body, they are unable to synthesize arginine on their own. Therefore, arginine is an essential amino acid. In addition to methionine, lysine, threonine, and arginine, they are the fourth limiting amino acids in broilers.
The effect of arginine on animal reproductive performanceAs a precursor for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) and polyamines, arginine plays a crucial role in promoting placental angiogenesis and development in mammals. Arginine and its metabolites can not only promote the angiogenesis and development of female mammalian placenta, but also effectively improve the sperm motility of male animals. Proper intake can effectively improve the reproductive performance of mammals.
