Name: Lypron®
Brand: Evonik
SKU: PR_52059940

Lypron® is a highly concentrated source of rumen-protected metabolizable lysine designed to support precise amino acid balancing in dairy nutrition. By improving lysine supply, Lypron® helps nutritionists formulate more balanced rations, support dairy performance, improve nitrogen efficiency, and enhance formulation flexibility.

Typical Applications

Lypron® is commonly used in dairy rations where lysine supply may become limiting, particularly during early and mid-lactation. It is especially valuable in low-crude-protein and soy-free feeding strategies, where reliable metabolizable lysine supply supports efficient protein utilization and greater formulation flexibility.

Amino Acids

Why lysine matters

Lysine is commonly one of the most limiting amino acids in dairy nutrition. When metabolizable lysine supply is inadequate, the efficiency of dietary protein utilization declines, limiting the value of the overall amino acid profile.

Reliable lysine supply therefore plays an important role in modern dairy feeding programs, particularly when nutritionists are aiming to improve nutrient efficiency, reduce crude protein levels, or increase formulation flexibility.

Delivering metabolizable lysine where it is needed

Lypron® combines a highly concentrated lysine source with effective rumen protection and intestinal digestibility to deliver metabolizable lysine where it is needed most. Lypron® contains 39.5% L-lysine. Combined with 80% rumen bypass and 90% intestinal digestibility, this delivers more than 280 g of metabolizable lysine per kilogram of product.

Optimizing performance while reducing environmental impact

With Lypron®, producers can confidently lower crude protein levels while maintaining or improving productivity. Supplying rumen‑protected lysine directly reduces the need for excess dietary protein, improving nitrogen utilization, and lowering nitrogen excretion. This supports more sustainable dairy production while providing greater flexibility in low-protein and soy-free feeding strategies.
