Unlock the power of 65

65 is the key to reducing transport

What if reducing logistics effort started with a smarter methionine choice? In animal nutrition, transport and handling are key contributors to operational efficiency. Thanks to its higher bioefficacy, MetAMINO® allows producers to use significantly less product to achieve the same nutritional result. As a result, only around 65% of the quantity is needed – reducing transport volumes, storage requirements, and overall handling complexity. Cut transport loads with 65. Because efficiency matters in your operation.

How bioefficacy reduces transport, handling, and storage volumes

 

MetAMINO® delivers methionine with high bioefficacy. Because less product is required, transport volumes are reduced accordingly. Extensive research shows that 65 units of MetAMINO® can replace 100 units of methionine hydroxy analogs without compromising animal performance. Since one truck can generally transport the same quantity of liquid MHA-FA and MetAMINO® (e.g. 10 metric tons), the higher bioefficacy of MetAMINO® translates directly into lower transport volumes.

 

Consequently, instead of three full truckloads of liquid methionine sources, only two truckloads of MetAMINO® are needed to deliver the same performance. This reduces the quantity that needs to be transported, stored, and handled.

Why handling matters: Comparing dry DL‑methionine and liquid MHA-FA

This video shows how the physical form of methionine sources influences handling efficiency across the feed production process. From transport and storage to dosing and mixing, dry DL‑methionine offers clear operational advantages over liquid MHA-FA.

Learn how easier handling, improved mixing behavior, and reduced equipment wear contribute to more efficient feed production.

Easier handling, lower logistical effort

Dry MetAMINO® vs. liquid methionine sources

MetAMINO® is a dry, crystalline DL‑methionine with a purity of more than 99%, making it easy to transport, store, and handle. In contrast, liquid methionine sources are acidic and corrosive, and increase equipment wear and tear, and maintenance requirements.

 

Dry MetAMINO® integrates smoothly into standard feed mill processes, enabling precise dosing and homogeneous mixing. This reduces processing time, minimizes residues, and supports efficient throughput. Simpler handling means more straightforward logistics.
