Rumen-Protected Methionine Mepron®

Methionine is an essential amino acid critical for optimizing health & maximizing performance. Helpful for improving milk production, methionine also positively impacts reproduction and overall health, offering specific benefits to the liver.

Studies show that cows fed Mepron® have a higher Liver Functionality Index, indicating improved liver function and better immunometabolic status. As a result, these animals experience less inflammation and reduced oxidative stress.

Backed by more than 20 years of proven history, Mepron® delivers metabolizable methionine to the dairy cow in a concentrated and consistent time-released format for maximum utilization.
