Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the upcoming 2026 Bio-based Conference and Exhibition in Shanghai, focusing on the collaboration between Huaheng Biological and academic institutions to advance amino acid applications in animal nutrition, emphasizing the importance of non-essential amino acids in sustainable livestock production [2][4][8]. Group 1: Event Overview - The 2026 Bio-based Conference will take place from May 20-22 in Shanghai, featuring 11 thematic forums, 7 concurrent activities, over 1000 new product displays, and an industry award ceremony [2][11]. - The conference aims to create an efficient platform for upstream and downstream industry connections, promoting low-carbon and green transformation in the sector [2]. Group 2: Collaboration and Research - Huaheng Biological has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with academician Yin Yulong and his team to focus on innovative research and industrial application of amino acids in animal nutrition [4][5]. - The collaboration aims to convert research outcomes into efficient and environmentally friendly feed additives, enhancing animal health and production performance [4]. Group 3: Importance of Non-Essential Amino Acids - Non-essential amino acids (NEAAs) play a crucial role in enhancing gut immunity, maintaining gut health, and improving animal growth performance while reducing antibiotic use and heavy metal emissions [4][6]. - The demand for NEAAs increases significantly during immune stress conditions, with specific amino acids like glutamine and arginine showing a 2-3 times higher requirement during peak immune responses [6][7]. Group 4: Advances in Amino Acid Production - Synthetic biology is revolutionizing the production of amino acids, with Huaheng Biological collaborating with academician Zheng Yuguo's team to establish a 3000-ton/year bio-based L-methionine production line [8][10]. - The team has developed key technologies for the efficient synthesis of L-methionine precursors, achieving the highest domestic and international production rates [10].
