Adisseo solutions discussed in this topic
Smartamine® MAX
The newest member of the Smartamine® rumen-protected methionine family.
Rumen-protected methionine option for herds balancing metabolizable methionine. See the brochure for specifications.
Smartamine® M
Rumen-protected methionine (pH-sensitive coating releases methionine in the abomasum).
Supplies metabolizable methionine — typically the first-limiting amino acid in North American dairy rations — to support milk protein and fat yield, health and reproduction.
MetaSmart®
Patented ester of methionine hydroxy analogue (HMTBa); pelletable and stable in liquid feeds.
About half is absorbed to supply metabolizable methionine; the remainder supports rumen fermentation and microbial protein — useful where pellets or liquid feeds are the delivery route.
