DL-Methionine is a highly purified, synthetic form of the essential amino acid methionine, widely used in animal nutrition to optimize protein synthesis, improve feed efficiency, and support immune and liver function. It is especially critical in poultry, swine, aquaculture, and ruminant diets, where methionine is often the first limiting amino acid, especially in corn-soy-based feeds.

By providing balanced amino acid profiles, DL-Methionine reduces the need for excess dietary protein and contributes to better animal health, growth, and cost-effective feed formulation.

Key Benefits of DL-Methionine in Animal Nutrition

1. Improves Protein Utilization
   DL-Methionine allows animals to efficiently use dietary protein, reducing the need for expensive protein ingredients and decreasing nitrogen excretion.

2. Supports Growth and Feed Conversion
   Critical for muscle development, DL-Methionine improves average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and carcass quality in meat-producing animals.

3. Boosts Immune Function and Antioxidant Defense
   As a sulfur-containing amino acid, methionine is essential for glutathione synthesis, supporting immune response and resistance to oxidative stress.

4. Enhances Feathering and Egg Production in Poultry
   Methionine plays a key role in keratin synthesis, improving feather coverage and egg quality in layers and breeders.

5. Supports Liver Health and Fat Metabolism
   DL-Methionine helps prevent fatty liver syndrome, especially in high-performing poultry and lactating dairy cattle.
