The effect of protected methionine and lysine on milk production and composition on grass-silage based diets

Abstract: Methionine and lysine have been shown to be the two amino acids most limiting for milk protein synthesis in lactating dairy cows. Many studies have shown positive effects of adding protected forms of methionine to cows on maize silage-based diets supplemented with soyabean meal. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect on milk production and composition of adding protected methionine and lysine to cows fed a grass silage diet.24 Autumn-calved cows (2nd lactation or greater) were blocked into groups of … Show more

“…On the other hand, the diets supplied similar amounts of PDI (PDIE), although slightly below the requirement. Dry matter (and energy) intake was unaffected by protected amino acid supplementation, which agrees with earlier results in cows fed grass-silage-based diets (Robert et al, 1994;Pisulewski and Kowalski, 1999a,b;Younge et al, 2001;Pisulewski et al, 2002). Similarly, postruminal (abomasal) infusions of lysine or methionine did not affect the above measurements .…”

“…In experiments using cows fed grass silage, milk protein yield responses to postruminal supply of methionine (or methionine with lysine) were inconsistent, ranging from apparent increases (Xu et al, 1998;Younge et al, 2001) to no effects (Pisulewski and Kowalski, 1999a,b;Vanhatalo et al, 1999;Varvikko et al, 1999;Pisulewski et al, 2002). The lack of response to ruminally-protected methionine is unexpected, since theoretically grass silage-based diets are considered to be deficient in methionine absorbed in the intestine .…”

“…Amino acid supplementation had no significant effect on mean dry matter intake or mean milk yield (Table 2). These effects confirm earlier findings of several studies using grass silage-based diets (Robert et al, 1994;Chillard et al, 1995: Younge et al, 1995. On the other hand, feeding protected amino acids may increase dry matter intake of grass silage diets in early lactation (Xu et al, 1998).…”

“…Although the ration provided an excess of N, as indicated by high content of PDIN compared with that of PDIE (Table 2), milk urea was uniform across treatments and similar to values for cows fed either maize silage (Pisulewski et al, 1996) or grass silage (Xu et al, 1998) rations. Inconsistent responses of milk fat content and yield were in line with comparable studies (Robert et al, 1994;Chillard et al, 1995;Younge et al, 1995;Xu et al, 1998), in which, feeding protected lysine and methionine did not significantly alter these parameters. (Table 5) can be discussed in terms of energy and protein, including amino acids status of the dairy cows.…”

“…Out of the twenty naturally occurring amino acids, L-Lysine (Lys) is one of the 9 essential and commercially important amino acids, ecumenically found in naturally occurring proteins of all living organisms. Lys is often used as special chemical in medicament, chemical agent, food material, and feed additive (1)(2)(3). Recently, its production and purification technology have attracted great attention.…”
