KESSENT® Me

KESSENT Me offers ruminant-protected Methionine for dairy and meat producers who demand precision in their feed formulations and operational efficiency and sustainability. The encapsulation and core technology in KESSENT Me are proven to provide the best source of metabolizable Methionine for ruminants.

KESSENT Me's unique formulation delivers the highest amount of rumen-protected Methionine per kg product. This is possible to reduce the mean rumen retention time (MRT) or increase the passage rate in the rumen by varying the size and specific gravity of particles. This increases the rumen escape protein proportion of concentrate feeds and will improve the effectiveness of industrial processes. A Latin square experiment (Dufreneix et al., 2019) looked at the combined effect of size and specific gravity on the MRT of particles without interactions with microbial fermentation. The study shows the importance of specific gravity and particle size of rumen-protected amino acids. The carefully designed particle size and unique specific gravity maximize the amount of Methionine that will escape rumination.

Benefits of KESSENT Me

• Improves R.O.I and net income in field conditions: this positive effect is much stronger by starting the feeding of rumen protected Methionine during close-up period.
• Improves the utilization efficiency of metabolizable protein, providing an opportunity to formulate diets with lower crude protein content without compromising the yield of milk and milk components.
• Enhances productivity performance, improving milk production and milk protein synthesis.
• Decreases the incidence of metabolic disorders.
• Plays a major role in the synthesis of apoprotein B, which is an essential component needed for the synthesis and secretion of very low-density lipoprotein, responsible for exporting triglycerides from the liver to peripheral tissues.
• Improves the liver function and the antioxidant precursor synthesis, better health status and immunometabolism.
• Being the precursor of carnitine, the transport vehicle to carry long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria for ß-Oxidation.
• Improves dairy herd fertility.
• Increases casein content resulting in high cheese production profitability.
