BACKGROUND: The degree to which the amount of aningested nutrient is absorbed and available to the body is calledbioavailability. OBJECTIVES: Relative effectiveness of herbalmethionine (H-Met®) compared to DL-methionine (DL-Met)was investigated in this experiment. METHODS: Exponentialregression analysis was used to determine bioefficacy of H-Met®based on body weight gain, feed intake and feed c...

background:herbal methionine can be compared relative todl-methionine with evaluation of bioavailability of this source ofmethionine. objectives: an experiment was carried out todetermine the relative bioefficacy of herbal methionine (h-met)®relative to dl-methionine (dl-met) on performance criteria andimmunocompetence of met sources in male broilers. atotal of 160male broilers were fed a met-d...

bioavailability of three rumen protected methionine (met) sources with different protection methods (mepron® m85, evonik industries, germany; methioplus®, soda nutrition, italy and methilock®, tehrandaneh co. iran) were evaluated in 2 experiments with 6 canulated non-lactating holstein cows. in experiment 1, the ruminal in situ and mobile bag techniques were used for assessing ruminal degradabi...
