Amino Acid Balance:

Methionine is an essential nutrient and generally is the first limiting amino acid for dairy cows. Because the methionine content of feedstuffs is generally low, supplemental protected methionine should be fed to meet the cow’s nutritional requirements. This allows the proper balance of amino acids to be achieved in the ratio at an optimal feed cost; helps reduce nitrogen excretion; and helps improve production, health, and reproduction.
