The main functions are as follows:
Adding valine to the diet of lactating sows can increase lactation. The mechanism is that valine can affect the production of alanine and the release of alanine from muscle. Adding valine to sow diet can increase alanine in plasma to meet the demand of mammary gland tissue for glucose raw materials and thus increase lactation. Valine is very important for the production and development of mammary gland. Valine is a limiting amino acid in protein diet of lactating sows. Lack of valine can reduce the effect of lysine. Adding lysine to the diet of lactating sows can improve the protein quality of feed, but it also causes the lack of valine, which affects the milk production of sows and the weight gain of piglets. When the lysine level is high, valine becomes the first limiting amino acid.
Improve the immune function of animal body. Valine can promote the transformation of Animal Skeletal T cells into mature T cells. Valine deficiency can reduce the levels of complement C3 and transferrin, significantly hinder the growth of thymus and peripheral lymphoid tissue, and inhibit the growth of acidic and neutrophil cells. The chickens lacked valine, and the antibody response to NDV decreased.
It affects the level of animal endocrine. The results showed that the supplementation of valine in the diets of suckling sows and suckling rats could increase the concentration of prolactin and production hormone in plasma.
