Rumen-Protected Methionine for Precision Dairy Cow Nutrition
KESSENT™ Me is a cutting-edge, rumen-protected methionine supplement designed to elevate dairy cow nutrition through precision amino acid balancing. Developed by Kemin, KESSENT™ Me uses natural encapsulation technology to deliver highly bioavailable methionine directly to the small intestine, supporting optimal milk protein synthesis, cow health, and feed efficiency.
Why Methionine Matters in Dairy Nutrition
Methionine is often the first limiting amino acid in dairy cattle diets. Without sufficient methionine, cows cannot fully utilize other amino acids, resulting in reduced milk yield, lower protein content, and compromised metabolic health. Supplementing with highly bioavailable rumen-protected methionine like KESSENT™ Me helps unlock the full potential of your ration, supporting milk protein synthesis, reproduction, and tissue growth in growing animals.
Features & Benefits of KESSENT™ Me
- Superior Bioavailability: Proven 80% bioavailability for efficient methionine delivery.
- Natural, pH-Sensitive Coating: High ruminal stability and superior biodegradation, avoiding microplastic concerns.
- Consistent Performance: Uniform particles with optimal size and specific gravity ensure predictable rumen clearance and maximum intestinal release.
- Stable & Homogeneous: Maintains integrity in TMR and premix minerals, with minimal losses and excellent mixing homogeneity.

- Sustainable Solution: Biodegradable coating supports environmental stewardship.
Advanced Encapsulation Technology
KESSENT™ Me features a proprietary, all-natural biopolymer chitosan coating that protects methionine from rumen degradation and ensures targeted release in the small intestine. This advanced encapsulation maintains structural integrity for up to 12 hours in the rumen, with high total tract digestibility and a biodegradability rate of 56.75% — supporting both animal performance and environmental sustainability.
