BACKGROUND:Herbal methionine can be compared relative toDl-methionine with evaluation of bioavailability of this source ofmethionine. OBJECTIVES: An experiment was carried out todetermine the relative bioefficacy of herbal methionine (H-Met)®relative to DL-methionine (DL-Met) on performance criteria andimmunocompetence of Met sources in male broilers. Atotal of 160male broilers were fed a Met-d...

a study was carried out to investigate the effects of organic acid mixture as well as two methionine supplements on performance, carcass characteristics and weight of gastrointestinal tract in broiler chickens. six hundred unsexed day-old ross 308 broiler chicks were utilized in a factorial arrangement of treatments (3×2) based on completely randomized design (crd) of 4 replicates of 25 chicks ...

Two separate studies were conducted using a continuous culture fermenter system to determine effects of supplementing D,L-methionine and various methionine derivatives on degradation of methionine by ruminal bacteria. A basal diet containing 20% alfalfa hay, 20% corn silage and 60% grain mix (DM basis) was provided at a rate of 75 g DM/d per fermenter and served as an unsupplemented control in ...

Methionine is a limiting amino acid in commercial swine diets and commonly supplemented as dry DL-methionine (DL-Met, 99%) or as liquid DL-methionine hydroxy analogue-free acid (liquid MHA-FA, containing 88% of active substance). New and intriguing research has been published in poultry and swine as to what is the nutritional effectiveness of liquid MHA-FA relative to DLMet, and what are the re...

bioavailability of three rumen protected methionine (met) sources with different protection methods (mepron® m85, evonik industries, germany; methioplus®, soda nutrition, italy and methilock®, tehrandaneh co. iran) were evaluated in 2 experiments with 6 canulated non-lactating holstein cows. in experiment 1, the ruminal in situ and mobile bag techniques were used for assessing ruminal degradabi...
