L-Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate - Feed Ingredient
L-Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate (OKG) is a compound formed by combining the amino acid L-ornithine with alpha-ketoglutaric acid, a key intermediate in the citric acid (Krebs) cycle. This combination is used in nutritional and clinical applications for its potential to support protein metabolism, tissue repair, and nitrogen balance.
In equine nutrition, OKG is included in specialized supplements targeting recovery, muscle maintenance, or metabolic support. It is not a standard dietary ingredient and is typically used in high-performance or therapeutic formulations. OKG may be used to help support amino acid metabolism and energy production, particularly in horses under intense physical stress or during rehabilitation.
Research on OKG in horses is limited, and its use is based primarily on studies from other species.
The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain L-Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate as an ingredient.
