# Feed additive tracker: Focus on lysine, methionine and vitamin prices

> Lysine hydrochloride has shown the steepest price drop among amino acids since early June, while vitamin A, inositol and vitamin C are under selling pressure according to Kemiex. Evonik announced a US$0.35/kg increase in MetAMINO prices in Latin America, following a similar move in China three weeks earlier. A recent fire at a CJ CheilJedang methionine plant is also noted.

## Why it matters

Methionine and lysine are core synthetic amino acids in feed formulation, so a price rise in methionine raises least-cost ration costs for poultry and swine producers, while lysine weakness eases them. Falling vitamin prices lower premix costs.
