N-Carbamylglutamate (NCG)

N-Carbamylglutamate Feed Grade

N-Carbamylglutamate (NCG) is a specialized feed additive formulated with N-carbamylglutamate as its key active ingredient. It is a structural analogue of N-acetylglutamate, serving as a cost-effective and efficient endogenous activator of arginine synthesis in livestock and poultry .

This product is designed to be incorporated into animal feed at specific ratios. NCG activates carbamyl phosphate synthetase I and promotes the synthesis of endogenous arginine, which serves as a precursor for nitric oxide and polyamines . Unlike direct arginine supplementation, NCG offers superior stability, longer half-life, and lower cost, making it a more practical and cost-effective alternative . Studies have demonstrated that NCG supplementation improves reproductive performance in sows, enhances growth performance and intestinal development in piglets, and ameliorates meat quality in growing-finishing pigs . In sheep, it has shown potential in improving carcass characteristics and meat quality . In rabbits, NCG has been shown to promote growth performance, enhance antioxidant capacity, and improve intestinal morphology and meat quality . Its multifunctional roles include stimulating intestinal development, improving feed efficiency, enhancing immune function, and increasing stress resistance in animals .

N-Carbamylglutamate is carefully manufactured under strict quality control to maintain consistent biological activity and product stability. It is available in powder form and is widely used in swine, poultry, ruminant, and rabbit operations to support overall animal health, enhance productive performance, and improve product quality.
