KESSENT®

• The optimal particle size and specific gravity of KESSENT allow it to move through the rumen rapidly. This reduces the physical abrasion and microbial degradation in the rumen, increasing Methionine intestinal bioavailability.
• KESSENT Me has a specific gravity of 1.21, ensuring a rapid escape from the rumen. In addition, 95% of the particle size is lower than 2.2 mm, providing a fast exit into the abomasum.      
• The standard deviation and coefficient of variation for both the specific gravity and the particle size are lower than any other rumen-protected Methionine available on the market. 
• Together with a specific and unique step in the production process, called spheronification, these properties allow for greater homogeneity and product stability under actual field conditions.

• Improves R.O.I and net income in field conditions: this positive effect is much stronger by starting the feeding of rumen protected Methionine during close-up period.
• Improves the utilization efficiency of metabolizable protein, providing an opportunity to formulate diets with lower crude protein content without compromising the yield of milk and milk components.
• Enhances productivity performance, improving milk production and milk protein synthesis.
• Decreases the incidence of metabolic disorders.
• Plays a major role in the synthesis of apoprotein B, which is an essential component needed for the synthesis and secretion of very low-density lipoprotein, responsible for exporting triglycerides from the liver to peripheral tissues.
• Improves the liver function and the antioxidant precursor synthesis, better health status and immunometabolism.
• Being the precursor of carnitine, the transport vehicle to carry long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria for ß-Oxidation.
• Improves dairy herd fertility.
• Increases casein content resulting in high cheese production profitability.

When developing our KESSENT technology, a 5-step process known as Process for Rumen-Protected Amino Acids Validation Criteria was used.

The 5-step process included laboratory research, animal research in different research centers, live plasma-free amino acid dose-response trials, stability stress trials, and production response trials in dairy and beef farms. These studies have proven greater Methionine bioavailability provided by KESSENT than other rumen-protected Methionine products.

KESSENT Me provides a significant improvement over the rest of RP Methionine competitors in terms of Methionine available per g of product based on the latest studies and information available.

• Research has shown that KESSENT MF is highly cost-effective compared to other competitor products.
• KESSENT MF ensures the highest concentration of post-rumen bioavailable Methionine HMBi per gram of product.
• The active ingredient in KESSENT MF is 2-Hydroxy-4-Methylthio-Butanoic Isopropyl ester (HMBi). It is an isopropyl ester of hydroxy analog of Methionine. Kemin uses a novel, cost-effective, and proprietary synthetic pathway to produce HMBi. Our novel synthesis pathway generates HMBi from cost-effective and straightforward raw materials gently and cleanly. In addition, this new pathway generates less waste and is environmentally friendly.
• KESSENT MF is manufactured in three different versions: Dry, Liquid, and Arome Dry. KESSENT MF Dry avoids the need to work with a liquid product. The Arome Dry version provides additional comfort by masking the typical smell associated with HMBi.
