This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of adding liquid DL-methionine hydroxy analogue free acid (LMA) to drinking water on growth performance, small intestinal morphology and volatile fatty acids in the caecum of nursery pigs. Twenty-four crossbred pigs (Large
Methionine hydroxy analogue DL-2-hydroxy-(4-methylthio)butanoic acid (HMTBA) is commonly used as a supplemental source of Met in commercial animal diets. To better understand the uptake of this analogue by the chicken intestine, the aim of the present study was to assess

DL-2-Hydroxy-(4-methylthio)butanoic acid (HMTBA) is a synthetic source of dietary methionine (Met) widely used in poultry nutrition. HMTBA is transported in the intestinal epithelium by the monocarboxylate transporter 1, after which its biological utilisation relies on its conversion to L-Met. This

The present study was conducted in a one-factorial arrangement to determine the effects of dl-2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyrate (dl-HMTB) on the first-pass intestinal metabolism of dietary methionine and its extra-intestinal availability. Barrows (n 6; aged 35 d; weight 8.6 kg), implanted with arterial

The objectives of the current study were to determine the fate and contribution to Met kinetics of 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio)butanoate (HMTBA) at the whole-body, splanchnic, and mammary levels. Four multicatheterized cows (31.3 kg of milk/d; 17.7 kg of DMI/d) were used in
