DL-Methionine
CAS Number: 59-51-8
DL-Methionine is the first limiting amino acid in poultry diets and a key sulfur-containing amino acid essential for feathering, growth, and egg production. It serves as a precursor to cysteine and plays a vital role in protein synthesis and metabolic functions. Our feed-grade DL-Methionine provides consistent quality to support optimal animal performance.
