Ewa Sujka, for the results, I think that the conclusion should include the bioequivalence between the products evaluated, which in this case corresponded to 0.83 (1.00 / 1.20). This is because with the conclusion presented, the idea that the product would be efficient only at the values of 1.20 MHA per 1.00 METHPLUs.

Dear Prof Juarez Donzele,
Thank you very much for the comment, the conclusions are based on this particular study and replacement levels. The replacement rate will depend on factors like source of methionine (DL, MHA) and natural methionine content from raw materials.
best regards,
Ewa

Seems one should conclude that the equivalence is equal to the value tested plus or minus the variation, as the results are as good as the test variation, which is usually pretty good, but worth stating.

Frank Ivey Thank you for the comment.
The trial is only one of experiments conducted with METHPLUS as methionine adjuvant. The product performs well with different scenarios of raw material used, climate, managment, source of synthetic methionine, animal species. In case of any questions feel free to ask.
Best regards,
Ewa
