Methionine has many metabolic roles, so it is not just protein in milk. In any case if you are interested in raising your milk protein you have to consider also the metabolizable Lysine, the rapport between metabolizable Lys and metabolizable Met and the quantity of metabolizable Lys & Met /Mcal ME.A rough guideline would be a % over total metabolizable protein of 6,8-7% Lys and 2.40-2,70% Met ...

Hi Joe, Yes, every time more metabolic roles for methionine are discovered. Considering methionine just as a tool to improve milk protein yield is quite outdated...
