French term

Udt lysine 400

French to English Science Livestock / Animal Husbandry Nutritional value of animal feed
This term appears in the context of a pig feed research project. I came across it in a table of pig feed ingredients, each ingredient expressed as a percentage of the total dose given per pig and by pig group, as follows (two other ingredients presented for context):

Composition % : 1st : 2nd : 3rd : 4th
Gr, Soja extrudée : 3.5 : 3.6 : 3.7 : 3.8
Tt Soja 48 : 3.5 : 3.6 : 3.7 : 3.8
Udt lysine 400 : 3.5 : 3.6 : 3.7 : 3.8

Lysine 400 is simple enough, but I can't find what Udt refers to. It seems to be a unit of measure, or perhaps indicates the physical form of the Lysine that was added to the feed, as in "Tourteaux de Soja 48". Any ideas would be much appreciated.

This is a research project originating in France, for a US English agriculture audience. Here is a link to the document:

It could be a measurement unit... ... with U being "unité", and "d" possibly "de". The composition may be in percentages, but that doesn't mean the ingredients themselves are.
Marco Solinas Nov 17, 2021:
To Asker I doubt that "Udt" is a measurement unit. The composition of the various blends in the table is expressed in percentage, which has no units. I suspect that it denotes the form of lysine 400 and methionine 400. That said, i just cannot even guess what "Udt" stands for.

Undiluted

Perhaps. references and lots of other hits suggest it's possible
Note from asker:
I had this thought too initially but Udt doesn't make enough sense as an abbreviation for undiluted. Also, in the same list is "Udt méthionine 400" and "Ucx thréonine 100". So if Udt means undiluted, what does Ucx mean? I'm not sure what to make of these!
