Rumen Protected Methyl-donors and the Genome: Nutrigenomics and beyond
Published:October 28, 2014
Summary
The importance of methionine as one of the most-limiting amino acids for milk protein synthesis in dairy cows is well-established. Positive effects of peripartal supplementation of methionine (-21 days through +30 days around parturition) also have been observed in terms of milk production. Recent work has revealed that the benefits of rumen-protected methionine (RPM) during the transition period...
