Smartamine® M: The gold standard encapsulated methionine 

Smartamine® M is the highly cost effective encapsulated source of protected DL-methionine for ruminants.

  • Protects the methionine during its passage through the rumen,  
  • Ensures its release in the abomasum and absorption in the small intestine for passage into the bloodstream and is used by the cow.

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. 

Key benefits

Improve milk yield and components
Improve milk yield and components

Maximize milk yield and energy corrected milk (ECM) due to the enhanced secretion of both milk protein and milk fat.

Optimal Reproduction and health
Optimal Reproduction and health

Metabolized methionine, as essential nutrient, supports fertility, overall health, and thus increase cow longevity.

Reduce Nitrogen emission
Reduce Nitrogen emission

Reducing the protein level in the ration reduces nitrogen excretion thereby improving soil nitrate management while cutting greenhouse gases. 

Amino Acid balancing a key to Lifetime Performance

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.
