Protein quality is dependent upon essential amino acids. The three most important or limiting amino acids for the horse are lysine, threonine, and methionine.

They are called limiting amino acids because if they are not provided in the diet, they can’t be synthesized at an adequate amount in the body, and muscle growth may be limited.
