Brief Introduction:

Rumen-protected Methionine, also known as Fat-coated Methionine or Rumen-protected Methionine-coated Microcapsules, is a special methionine supplement designed for ruminants. This product can prevent the effective ingredients from being decomposed in the rumen, allowing methionine to reach the abomasum and intestines to be digested and absorbed, greatly improving the utilization rate of methionine, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the production performance and health of animals, such as increasing milk production, improving milk composition, and promoting growth.

Background and Principle:

☝ Digestive Characteristics of Ruminants:
There are a large number of microorganisms in the rumen of ruminants (such as cattle and sheep), which are responsible for decomposing complex substances such as cellulose in feed, but this process will also degrade some nutrients (such as amino acids), resulting in them being unable to be directly absorbed by the host.

☝ The Importance of Methionine:
Methionine is one of the essential amino acids, involved in protein synthesis, has antioxidant function (as a precursor of glutathione), and can improve the immunity of animal bodies. If it is decomposed by microorganisms in the rumen, its utilization rate will be significantly reduced.

Rumen-protected Technology:

Protect methionine through physical or chemical treatment to keep it stable in the rumen, and release it in the subsequent digestive tract (abomasum, small intestine), and then be absorbed by the organism:

♔ Encapsulation Technology: Use fat, fatty acid salts or polymers (such as ethyl cellulose) to encapsulate methionine to resist the acidic environment and microbial effects of the rumen.

♔ Chemical Modification: Convert methionine into derivatives (such as methionine hydroxy analogue, MHA), which are enzymatically hydrolyzed in the intestine to release the active ingredients.

Core Advantages of our Rumen-protected DL-Methionine:

1) Improve Utilization:

Avoid degradation by the rumen and increase absorption in the small intestine.

2) Precise Nutritional Regulation:

Meet the high demand for methionine of high-yielding ruminants (such as lactating cows), improve milk protein content and milk production.

3) Health Benefits:

Enhance antioxidant capacity and reduce the risk of metabolic diseases (such as ketosis).

Application Scenarios of our Rumen-protected DL-Methionine:

◎ Dairy Farming:

Improve milk production and milk quality (milk protein rate, milk fat rate).

◎ Fattening of Beef Cattle/Mutton Sheep:

Promote muscle growth and improve feed conversion efficiency.

◎ Perinatal Management:

Alleviate negative energy balance and support immunity and reproductive performance.
