Product Overview
N-Carbamylglutamic Acid (NCG) is a high-efficiency metabolic activator and a critical structural analog of N-acetylglutamic acid (NAG). By activating carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I (CPS I), NCG serves as a powerful catalyst for the urea cycle, significantly enhancing the endogenous synthesis of Arginine. This makes it an indispensable additive for optimizing growth and health in young animals and livestock with underdeveloped metabolic capacities.
Beyond animal nutrition, NCG provides vital clinical support in human medicine for treating urea cycle disorders and ammonia metabolism dysfunction. Its exceptional chemical stability and superior bioavailability compared to direct arginine supplementation make it a cost-effective and high-performance solution for the agriculture, veterinary, and pharmaceutical sectors.

Investment Return Comparison
| Target Category | Direct Arginine Supplement | N-Carbamylglutamic Acid (NCG) |
|---|---|---|
| Weaned Piglets | High degradation in gut | Reduced diarrhea, faster growth |
| Sows/Mothers | Moderate milk increase | Significant increase in milk yield |
| Calves/Lambs | High cost per unit gain | Alleviates weaning stress efficiently |
| Aquatic Species | Variable absorption | Improved disease resistance |
| Cost-Effectiveness | Low (High waste/price) | High (Stable conversion) |
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct Arginine is expensive and often degraded by gut microbes before absorption. NCG is chemically stable and acts as a catalyst to trigger the animal's own body to produce arginine, reducing costs and improving efficiency.
NCG improves the milk yield and nutritional quality of the sow and strengthens the intestinal mucosal barrier of the piglets, reducing the incidence of weaning diarrhea.
Yes, NCG is used to treat urea cycle disorders (such as NAGS deficiency) and supports protein metabolism in critically ill or postoperative patients, but it must be used under strict medical supervision.
For aquatic species, the recommended dosage is generally between 0.01% and 0.05% in feed to improve disease resistance and overall feed efficiency.
Users should strictly follow the recommended dosage. Excessive doses may lead to an increased ammonia metabolic burden on the animal.
NCG works most effectively when combined with minerals such as Zinc and vitamins like Vitamin B6, which together enhance the metabolic pathway for arginine synthesis.
