Improved milk protein synthesis with methionine precursor

Methionine should be added to cow diets to restore amino acid balance and optimise lactation performance. However, it must be supplied in a form which protects it from the micro organisms in the rumen. A new chemical derivative of methionine has been developed, which provides bioavailable methionine and activates fermentation by the rumen at the same time.
