> A feed additive update reports that prices for several amino acids, including valine, lysine sulfate, threonine, lysine HCl, DL-methionine and tryptophan, are stabilising or declining in many regions despite rising corn and soybean prices. Producers are offering lower prices to large customers to secure sales before further declines.
