Buyer intent coverage
L-Valine (feed grade) — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
L-Valine is a branched-chain amino acid that becomes limiting in very low crude protein swine diets, particularly in nursery and early grower phases. Quebec and Ontario swine nutrition programmes are the main Canadian buyers, together with premix manufacturers who build it into nursery concentrates. Its value depends entirely on where valine sits in the limiting order for the specific diet, so buyers specify it against the lysine ratio their matrix uses.
Primary uses
- Balancing valine in low crude protein nursery and grower pig diets
- Managing branched-chain amino acid interactions with leucine and isoleucine
- Poultry diets where valine becomes limiting after threonine
Applications
- Swine nursery and grower feeds
- Poultry complete feeds
- Nursery concentrates and premixes
Advantages
- Extends crude protein reduction beyond lysine, methionine and threonine
- Crystalline, free-flowing and stable through pelleting
- Allows precise correction of branched-chain imbalance
Limitations to consider
- Only useful once earlier limiting amino acids are covered
- Branched-chain antagonism means valine cannot be raised in isolation
- Higher unit cost than bulk amino acids
How to choose the right grade
- Confirm the valine-to-lysine ratio and the diet phase it applies to
- Review leucine and isoleucine levels before increasing valine
- Match particle size to the premix or mill dosing route
- 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-valine 98%
- Premix-ready grade

- Higher intact protein inclusion
- Reformulating the branched-chain balance around available raw materials

Procurement coverage
How to specify, order and receive L-Valine (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
- Valine-to-lysine ratio and diet phase
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 sealed, dry, off the floor and away from heat and direct sunlight
- Keep feed grade physically segregated from food and technical grades
- Rotate stock, re-close partial bags and record batch numbers against each blend
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-valine in feed+
Valine is a branched-chain amino acid that becomes limiting in diets where crude protein has been cut aggressively, particularly in young pigs. It also competes with the other branched-chain amino acids for absorption, so its level is set relative to leucine and isoleucine rather than in isolation.
Specifying the grade+
Because valine is dosed against a branched-chain balance, the declared assay must match the value in your matrix. Confirm the assay basis and the physical form suited to your micro-dosing line when requesting a quotation.
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
Why is valine balanced against leucine and isoleucine?+
The branched-chain amino acids share absorption and catabolic pathways, so their ratio, not just the absolute level, affects performance.
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.
