The shelf life of Methionine is 3 years. The product should be stored in a dry environment at a temperature below 30 °С.
Packaging
Foodcom supplies its Business Partners with Methionine in 25 kg bags or in so-called Big bags.
Application
Methionine is an important ingredient in animal nutrition. The product is added to feed premixes in order to maintain the desired level of methionine which can be insufficient in other protein sources like soybean or rapeseed.
High-yielding cows need increased levels of methionine for milk production. The product also results in fewer health disorders and a lower number of pregnancy losses. In a piglet diet, methionine is partially responsible for creatine synthesis. Added to poultry feed, it allows for increased egg production, muscle mass buildup, and a healthy digestive tract.
