DL-Methionine Feed Grade Supplier South Africa

What is DL-Methionine?

DL-Methionine is a synthetic racemic form of the essential sulfur-containing amino acid methionine, widely used in animal feed to meet nutritional requirements that cannot be achieved through plant-based protein sources alone. It plays an indispensable role in protein synthesis, feather development, and metabolic pathways in poultry and livestock.

Role in Animal Nutrition

Methionine is the first limiting amino acid in poultry diets and second limiting in swine diets. Supplementing feed-grade DL-Methionine allows nutritionists to reduce total crude protein inclusion while maintaining optimal performance, reducing feed cost and nitrogen excretion. It also supports liver function, antioxidant defence via glutathione synthesis, and egg production in layers.
