Rumen Protected Amino Acids

Methionine is an   essential amino acid and an important methyl donor, involved in important   physiological activities such as fat metabolism and gene expression. The   first limiting amino acid in a typical diet for dairy cattle is methionine.   Supplementing with additional rumen protected methionine in the diet could   balance the metabolizable amino acids in the small intestines, improve the   protein utilization efficiency of the diet, promote fat metabolism and   prevent metabolic diseases that related to fat metabolism.

Lysine is an essential   amino acid which cannot be synthesized by dairy cattle and could only be obtained   from the feed. The imbalance amino acids in the diet could cause the low protein   utilization then cause protein waste. Lysine is the second limiting amino   acid in the current typical diets of dairy cattle. Increasing the   metabolizable lysine for small intestine could improve the protein   utilization efficiency, reduce feed cost, and improve production performance   of dairy cattle.
