Applications of 5-ALA in Agriculture
5-Aminolevulinic Acid (5-ALA) plays an important role in aiding plant photosynthesis. Using fertilizers containing 5-ALA enhances the efficiency of photosynthesis, promoting crop growth, increasing yields, and improving sugar content. It helps plants withstand environmental stresses such as shade and extreme temperatures, enabling stable crop production in more regions.
The Fukuroi Plant aims to reduce costs by establishing a mass production system for 5-ALA, promoting its use as a fertilizer in broader markets. 5-ALA as a fertilizer is also believed to contribute to improving food self-sufficiency.
Applications of 5-ALA in Livestock and Aquaculture
The use of 5-ALA in feed is expected to have various effects, including promoting animal health, enhancing immunity, accelerating growth, improving reproductive ability, improving milk quality, improving hatching and egg-laying rates, and increasing resistance to infections. Aiming to contribute to improving productivity in livestock and aquaculture and solving the growing global food problem.
Maximizing the potential of 5-ALA and actively expanding feed products containing 5-ALA to domestic and international markets where demand is expected.
Applications of 5-ALA in Animal Health
The application of 5-ALA is also progressing in products for companion animals. In 2019, “EneALA,” a supplement for dogs and cats aimed at veterinary hospitals, was launched, and in 2022, “WIZALA” for the general market was introduced. By supplementing the often deficient 5-ALA in animals, it activates mitochondria, aids in weight management through lipid metabolism, and helps maintain health, potentially improving the quality of life and longevity of animals.
Supporting the health of companion and livestock animals in a multifaceted manner, aiming to provide more effective animal healthcare, including alliances with other companies. Contributing widely to animal healthcare, including improving animal welfare and the livestock industry.
