Methionine is an essential amino acid that plays a vital role in protein metabolism, liver function, and the immune system. In ruminant nutrition, free amino acids are easily degraded by rumen microbes through deamination, making them unavailable for absorption. Coating amino acids like methionine can reduce their ruminal degradability and increase intestinal absorption. Coated methionine is gradually released over time, preventing sudden fluctuations in blood methionine levels in cows.
