-It is one of the essential amino acids that can not be synthesized in the animal organism. It plays a significant role not only as a basic component for the construction of proteins that make up products of animal origin, but also as an important intermediate in several physiological and metabolic processes, such as methylation reactions, or in the synthesis of antioxidants, such as glutathione and taurine.

-The low consumption of methionine can generate a negative impact on the productive parameters, with a direct relation in the inhibition of the growth, in addition to alterations in the metabolism and resistance to diseases, among other adverse effects. For this reason, animal feed must always satisfy the requirements of adequate nutrients for the growth and the health of the different species destined for animal production.

-In poultry production, this amino acid is found in low concentrations in vegetable protein sources. The above, added to the high demand by the bird for protein synthesis and feather growth among other processes, methionine is always categorized as the first limiting amino acid in avian production.

-The main function of methionine in poultry farming is to help in the synthesis of protein that will serve as the basis for the production of meat, in addition to the formation of different tissues such as hair, feathers, beak, nails, scales, among other physiological productive processes, which is why its use is essential in the first weeks of the bird’s life.

-The use of methionine as a food supplement optimizes growth rates, increased feed conversion, increased animal protein production and in general as an optimizer of productive performance.
