Smartamine® M is the highly cost effective encapsulated source of protected DL-methionine for ruminants.
Methionine is an essential nutrient and generally is the first limiting amino acid for dairy cows. Because the methionine content of feedstuffs is generally low, supplemental methionine should be fed to meet the cow’s nutritional requirements. This allows the proper balance of amino acids to be achieved in the ration at an optimal feed cost.
Maximize milk yield and energy corrected milk (ECM) due to the enhanced secretion of both milk protein and milk fat.
Metabolized methionine, as essential nutrient, supports fertility, overall health, and thus increase cow longevity.
Reducing the protein level in the ration reduces nitrogen excretion thereby improving soil nitrate management while cutting greenhouse gases.
Modern dairy cows need their amino acid (AA) requirements met to achieve high production potential, with methionine and lysine often limiting. Without correction, milk yield, fat, and protein decrease, reducing farm income.
Overfeeding protein to meet AA needs is unsustainable due to environmental concerns over nitrogen excretion and carbon emissions. Smartamine® M offers a cost-effective, low-carbon solution, enhancing feed efficiency, dietary nitrogen use, and reducing emissions per cow and per kilogram of milk.
Research on amino acid bioavailability in dairy cows highlights the impact of rumen-protected methionine on metabolism and performance. Key studies have developed techniques like plasma free amino acid dose-response to assess the bioavailability of different methionine sources.
Explore the science behind dairy cow nutrition and milk production, focusing on the impact of methionine supplementation. Key studies delve into how rumen-protected amino acids enhance milk yield, nutrient efficiency, and metabolic health.
Methionine supplementation during the peripartum period plays a key role in improving the health and performance of dairy cows. Studies show it enhances immune function, reduces oxidative stress, and boosts metabolism in both cows and their calves.
