Novimet® : Rumen bypass methionine
High yielding dairy cows have a high demand for energy and protein. The main limiting amino acids for highly productive dairy cattle are methionine and lysine.
Dairy cows are fed protein rich feeds in order to meet their metabolisable protein requirement. The amino acid profile of feeds is a determining factor in the metabolisable amino acid supply and should be as close as possible to the ideal AA-profile of milk. Protein rich feedstuffs such as soybean meal have a relatively low methionine content in comparison with lysine. There is a need for protected methionine as a source of metabolisable methionine. Free methionine will be degraded in the rumen, coating methionine with fat is one way to protect methionine from rumen degradation and make it available for absorption in the small intestine.

Benefits of Novimet®
Novimet® facilitates the ration formulation so that the animal can meet the metabolisable methionine requirements without the excess of protein that usually occurs with conventional feedstuffs. That leads to increased milk production with optimal component levels and lower nitrogen excretion.
Novimet® is a 50% concentrated methionine product in a rumen protected form. Each 1000 g of Novimet® brings 365 g of bypass methionine. Each 1000 g of Novimet® brings 340 g of intestinal digested methionine
Feeding instructions: Lactating Cows: 20-80 g/h/d – Beef: 5-20 g/h/d – Lactating Goat/sheep: 3-10 g/h/d
