Features and Benefits
- Superior Rumen Protection: LysiGEM microcapsules use advanced encapsulation technology to ensure lysine bypasses the rumen and is efficiently absorbed in the small intestine.
- Highest Lysine Content & Bioavailability: Delivers more digestible lysine per kilogram than competing products, maximising nutritional impact and cost-effectiveness.
- Proven Performance: Backed by rigorous laboratory and field research, including in-vivo trials and real-world farm studies, LysiGEM consistently improves milk yield, protein quality, and animal health.
- Feed Processing Resilience: Free-flowing, physically robust microcapsules withstand feed mixing and pelleting, ensuring consistent nutrient delivery.
- Formulation Flexibility: Enables nutritionists to optimise ingredient selection and create balanced, cost-effective rations for dairy and beef herds.
How Does Lysine Affect Animal Performance in Cattle?
Lysine is one of the first limiting amino acids in dairy cows and other ruminants, making it essential for optimal performance. It plays a critical role in milk protein synthesis, particularly casein, which is vital for cheese production. Beyond milk quality, lysine supports growth and tissue development through its involvement in collagen formation and calcium absorption. Additionally, it contributes to energy metabolism as a precursor for carnitine, a compound responsible for transporting fatty acids into mitochondria for oxidation.
Why Cows Need Rumen-Protected Lysine
In a typical diet, unprotected lysine is rapidly degraded by rumen microbes, leaving very little available for absorption in the small intestine. To overcome this challenge, rumen-protected lysine is formulated using encapsulation or coating technologies that allow it to bypass rumen degradation. This ensures that lysine reaches the small intestine intact, where it can be absorbed and utilised effectively to support milk production, growth, and overall health.
Amino Acid Balancing for Precision Nutrition
Modern ruminant diets aim for optimal amino acid profiles—especially lysine and methionine—to maximise milk protein synthesis and feed efficiency. LysiGEM™ make this possible by delivering metabolizable lysine where it matters most, supporting performance and sustainability without excess crude protein.
