RENEWED interest exists in balancing dairy rations while also meeting the dietary requirements for the first two limiting amino acids: methionine and lysine.
When consideration during ration formulation is given to the metabolizable lysine and methionine concentrations within the ration's metabolizable protein (MP), more cost-effective rations can be formulated and better, more predictable milk performance achieved, both in volume and components.
Additional benefits exist. These include an increase in producer income over feed costs (IOFC) and relate to a role in preventing certain metabolic disorders, positively influencing energy balance and, hence, ...
