Put 65% bioefficacy to the test
Diverse trials have shown that 65 parts of DL methionine (DLM) can achieve the same animal performance as 100 parts of liquid methionine hydroxy analogue (MHA-FA) or its calcium salt (MHA‑Ca). With PROXYMet™, you can put this concept to the test under your own commercial production conditions.
PROXYMet™ contains approximately 65% DLM and 35% carrier, allowing you to replace MHA‑FA or MHA‑Ca 1:1 while keeping the rest of your feeding program unchanged.

Methionine and Cysteine are usually the first performance limiting amino acids in broiler feed and typically third limiting in swine diets. Meeting the animals’ requirements for these essential amino acids is therefore key to achieving optimal performance. Commonly, DL methionine (99% purity), an amino acid, or MHA-FA (88% purity), an organic acid, are supplemented to meet those requirements.
The chemical differences between the two compounds influence their nutritional value, expressed as relative bioavailability (RBV), which has been confirmed in previous scientific publications to be 65% for MHA-FA relative to DL-Met on a product-to-product basis.
One small trial but one giant leap for your methionine savings
