Herbal methionine in broilers - Woo Kyun Kim

Dear Dr. Woo Kyun Kim, Thanks for your views and sharing the performance report of herbal methionine.

we all know the opting organic/ herbal solutions for animal farming is the key for safe, sustainable and environment-friendly animal products and profit.

when we are talking about herbal methionine, Ayurvet is having a proven and efficacious solution named "Methiorep". Dr. Woo Kyun Kim himself did trials for the efficacy evaluation of Methiorep. He compared the results of herbal methionine both in feed and water of the broiler chicken.
The replacement of DL-methionine with Methiorep (herbal methionine) at 40% level shows an equal or even better result in obtaining better body weight and FCR than 100% DL-methionine supplemented group.
40% Methiorep inclusion group also show better retention of macronutrients like calcium and potassium and Phosphorus in the body.

Thank you, Dr., for this useful information, we need more trials if you have, please. 

Hi All,

I know that my comment can create controversy and rejection but in my humble opinion a protein replacer is always better than DL-Met or Herbal Met.

Thoughts?

Thank you Dr. Kyun Kim for this focal point on the utilization of herbal methionine and other herbs product as a replacer of synthetic products eg synthetic DL. Methionine in poultry nutrition
here, I gladly like to share information with others; I and workers at Animal Production Research Centre (Kuku) carried out two different experiment on the year 1914. At that time the price of DL-Methionine became very high for poultry farmers in Sudan and they look for a cheaper source. We bought this product and did our reaches, later we got the information from where it comes.
This herbal methionine called (Phytonin) was imported by a Sudanese Co. (Almaha limited Co.) from Indian company (Natural Remedies).
Information about its effect on broiler or layer performance you can obtained it from the following published articles.
