Buyer intent coverage
L-Glutamine (feed grade) — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
L-Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid used in nursery pig and early-life poultry programmes focused on gut integrity through the weaning transition, and in aquaculture and companion animal specialty diets. Quebec and Ontario swine nursery programmes and specialty premix blenders are the main Canadian buyers. It is a functional inclusion rather than a limiting-amino-acid correction, so the inclusion rate and diet phase drive the specification.
Primary uses
- Supporting intestinal integrity in nursery pig diets after weaning
- Early-life poultry and specialty gut health programmes
- Aquaculture and companion animal specialty formulations
Applications
- Nursery pig starter feeds and creep diets
- Poultry starter programmes
- Specialty premixes and functional concentrates
Advantages
- Targets the gut directly during transition periods
- Dry, stable and simple to blend into starter diets
- Fits programmes reducing reliance on other intervention strategies
Limitations to consider
- Functional rather than nutritionally limiting, so response is programme-dependent
- Degrades in solution and with prolonged heat, which affects wet applications
- Higher unit cost restricts it to early-life and specialty diets
How to choose the right grade
- Define the diet phase and inclusion rate before comparing offers
- Confirm heat exposure in pelleting or extrusion
- Match particle size to the starter blending system
- Buyers searching for an alternative or second-source supplier should state the incumbent specification they are matching, because a like-for-like comparison depends on declared content, physical form and documentation rather than on the material name alone.
Typical grades
- Feed grade L-glutamine
- Glutamine-rich peptide alternative (separate identity)
Comparable materials — how L-Glutamine (feed grade) sits against alternatives
- Glutamine-rich protein hydrolysates and peptides
- Other functional gut health inclusions such as butyrate sources
Comparable-material reference. Grade selection is confirmed at RFQ against your process.
Procurement coverage
How to specify, order and receive L-Glutamine (feed grade)
Written for procurement, quality and technical buyers in Canada and the United States. No numeric price, MOQ, stock or lead-time value is published — those are confirmed per shipment in the quotation and against the confirmed batch.
How buyers specify at RFQ
- Declared amino acid content and the assay method behind it
- Physical form, particle size and flow behaviour in the dosing system
- Moisture, ash and heavy metal limits
- Feed-ingredient declaration and traceability documentation
- Diet phase and inclusion rate per tonne
Packaging options (industry-standard)
- 25 kg bag or fibre drum — the usual micro-ingredient format
- Foil-lined or moisture-barrier packaging for hygroscopic and oxidation-sensitive actives
- Carton or pail for very low-inclusion actives handled by hand
- Packaging options and available pack sizes are confirmed with each quotation.
Storage & handling
- Store cool, dry and sealed; potency loss accelerates with heat and humidity
- Keep original moisture-barrier packaging closed until the blend is made
- Use first-in, first-out rotation and respect the declared retest or shelf-life date
Documentation available
- Technical data sheet (TDS) for the exact feed grade offered
- Safety data sheet (SDS) in the format required for Canadian import
- Certificate of analysis (COA) against the confirmed production batch
- Feed-ingredient declaration and label statements the receiving mill needs
- Documentation is confirmed per batch at quotation; availability depends on the grade and supplier offered.

Technical & procurement detail
Functional role of l-glutamine in feed+
Glutamine is the principal fuel of the intestinal epithelium, and demand rises sharply during weaning and other periods of stress when the gut is remodelling. It is supplemented for gut integrity rather than as a limiting amino acid for growth.
Specifying the grade+
Glutamine is hygroscopic and heat-sensitive relative to other crystalline amino acids, so storage conditions and the point of addition in the process matter. State whether it is added pre- or post-pelleting so an appropriate form is quoted.
Documentation and specification+
Feed grade material is quoted against the specification your mill or premix formulation requires. Allzone confirms grade, declared content, physical form and any carrier or coating with the supplier before quoting, and shares the technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact material offered.
Frequently asked questions
Does glutamine survive pelleting?+
Thermal exposure affects it more than most crystalline amino acids; state your process conditions so the supplier can advise on the appropriate form and addition point.
Is this quoted as feed grade material?+
Yes. Feed grade is quoted as a separate specification from food or technical grade, with its own documentation for the exact material offered.
What packaging is available?+
Packaging is confirmed with the supplier at quotation for the grade and quantity discussed.
Can you deliver to feed mills across Canada?+
Yes. LTL and FTL freight is arranged across Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada, with container-direct supply for repeat volumes.
