<p><strong><strong><img src="images-joomla/guides/minus.png" alt="minus" style="vertical-align: middle;" />&nbsp; Too little</strong> Lysine</strong></p>
<p>If the ration contains enough protein, but too little lysine, the quality of the protein may be poor. A good protein quality is of particular importance for young growing horses and for lactating mares.</p>
<p>Deficiency of lysine in the diet impairs growth and development.</p>
<p><strong>Solutions</strong>: Good sources of lysine are fishmeal and soybean meal. Commercial concentrate mixtures with a high protein content may be useful.</p>
<p><strong><img src="images-joomla/guides/plus.png" alt="plus" style="vertical-align: middle;" />&nbsp; Too much </strong><strong>Lysine</strong></p>
<p>Expensive and unneccesary. Surplus lysine will be metabolized and used as energy. Your horse can only grow muscles and other tissues when all the required (20) aminoacids are present in balanced amounts.</p>
<p><strong>Solutions</strong>: Select feeds with lower protein content. Save money and reduce the stress on the liver of your horse.</p>
