Methionine and analogs Nutrition of Cattle
Keywords:
amino acids, beef cattle, dairy cattle, MHAAbstract
The present review aims to present a discussion and results related to the use of methionine and analogues for bovine feeding. A food handling are important in the digestive process in ruminants, especially case of amino acids (AAc), that have very specific properties and composition. The first limiting amino acid in cattle and methionine, especially when Pmic is the predominant source of AAc that supply the small intestine. Modifications in protein sources during fermentation in the rumen causes some methods among them the by-pass can be used for protection of AAc from the action of ruminal microorganisms, allowing supplementation of specific amino acids for direct absorption in the small intestine. Thus, it has been observed positive effect on the use of methionine its analogue and MHA - Methionine-hydroxy analogue. To that methionine supplementation for ruminants to be effective, they must be provided in protected form, or should not be done freely in the diet, they will be degraded by the rumen microorganisms. Some physical and chemical processes or may be made to protect methionine from ruminal degradation, thus enabling a greater amount of AAc in the intestine.
