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.
