Rumen Protected Methionine

Methionine is an essential amino acid that plays a vital role in protein metabolism, liver function, and the immune system. In ruminant nutrition, free amino acids are easily degraded by rumen microbes through deamination, making them unavailable for absorption. Coating amino acids like methionine can reduce their ruminal degradability and increase intestinal absorption (NASEM 2021). Coated methionine is gradually released over time, preventing sudden fluctuations in blood methionine levels in cows.

Effects of Coated Methionine on Dairy Cows

Production Performance

Increased milk production

Improved milk quality

Higher protein content in milk

Higher fat content in milk

Reproductive Performance
Numerous studies have reported improvements in reproductive performance, including:

Increased pregnancy rates by up to 10%

Reduced calving intervals by up to 10 days

Improved fetal health and reduced embryo mortality by up to 20% (Toledo et al., 2022)

Liver Function
Coated methionine plays a crucial role in fat metabolism, resulting in:

Decreased non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and cholesterol levels in the blood

Reduced liver fat by up to 12%

Increased liver enzyme activity (positive effects) by up to 15%

Improved liver detoxification performance

Immune System Performance
Coated methionine positively impacts liver function, reducing inflammatory markers and oxidative stress. It also boosts antibody production and enhances immune cells, leading to a reduced incidence of diseases such as retained placenta, metritis, etc.
