# Premier Nutrition says amino acids will play a crucial role in diet formulation in 2020 - Pig World

> Premier Nutrition says protected amino acids are becoming more accessible and competitively priced for all livestock species. It expects greater availability of crystalline amino acids to cut crude protein use in poultry by about 1% in 2020. Lysine and methionine supplementation of DDGS is presented as a way to replace soya in ruminant diets.

## Why it matters

Cheaper synthetic amino acids let feed makers replace some soybean meal protein with DDGS and other local ingredients, which could ease soymeal demand at the margin. Lower crude protein formulations reduce the protein-ingredient volume needed per tonne of feed.
