MetaSmart® is isopropyl ester of methionine hydroxy analogue (HMBi).
With global demand for dairy products, especially butter and dairy fat, rising, farmers and nutritionists seek efficient ways to boost milk production while reducing environmental impact.
Optimizing nutrition is key, and methionine—the first limiting amino acid for dairy cows—plays a crucial role. Since its content in feedstuffs is low, supplementation ensures cows meet their nutritional needs, improving production efficiency and sustainability.
Proper methionine balance allows for an optimal amino acid profile in rations while keeping feed costs in check.
Milk yield and components are improved at all stages of lactation.
Increasing dietary metabolizable methionine improves cow health and plays a key role in several factors directly related to reproduction success.
By lowering crude protein level and rebalancing with Methionine, Nitrogen is more efficiently used and thus less excreted in urine, contributing to improve carbon emissions of milk produced and Nitrogen impact on the environment.
Amino Acid balancing rations using MetaSmart® as the supplementary methionine increases milk yield and components by providing 2 sources of methionine:
It is reinforcing its role as a game-changer in dairy nutrition, MetaSmart® offers a range of formulation (Powder and liquid) that can be use in multiple types of feeds including pelleted and liquid feed, 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.
