Hydroxylysine - Feed Ingredient

Hydroxylysine is a modified amino acid derived from lysine through hydroxylation, a process that occurs naturally in the body during collagen synthesis. It is primarily found in collagen and plays a crucial role in the stabilization and cross-linking of collagen fibers.

In equine nutrition, hydroxylysine is not typically added as a direct feed ingredient but may be present in hydrolyzed collagen or gelatin-based supplements aimed at supporting connective tissue health. It is used more as an indicator of collagen metabolism than as a standalone nutrient.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Hydroxylysine as an ingredient.
