Biological efficacy and absorption of DL‐methionine hydroxy analogue free acid compared to DL‐methionine in chickens as affected by heat stress

Abstract: 1. The net absorption and the biological efficacy of DL-methionine and of DL-methionine hydroxy analogue free acid (MHA-FA) were evaluated in chickens under heat stress. 2. In a growth assay, finishing broilers 21 to 42 d of age were fed on diets containing graded amounts of the two supplements; the basal diet was composed of practical ingredients. 3. From slope-ratio analysis, equimolar efficacy of MHA-FA relative to DL-methionine was determined to be 83% (confidence limits 61 to 115%) from weight gain respon… Show more

“…Dietary methionine supplementation is usually provided using chemically synthesized DL-methionine (DL-Met) or one of its hydroxy analogues, for example, DL-2-hydroxy-(4-methylthio) butanoic acid (DL-HMTBA). Research in this field has mainly concerned the respective use of these products, giving relatively controversial results [9,[12][13][14][15][16][17]. This is, in part, due to differences in the experimental conditions used, but differences in intake, intestinal absorption and metabolic conversion to L-methionine have been evoked as confounding factors.…”

“…In the literature, there is a vivid and controversial discussion concerning the relative biological efficiency of MHA-FA and DLM (e.g., Huyghebaert, 1993;Rostagno and Barbosa, 1995;Schutte and De Jong, 1996). Both methionine sources allow for accurate balancing of the dietary amino acid profile; however, information about the relative bio-logical efficiency of MHA-FA compared with DLM is a relevant factor for cost-effective purchasing, feed formulation, and animal production.…”

“…Effects of dietary treatments on crude protein and ether extract of broilers' meat may be due to the role played by methionine in protein synthesis in broilers (NRC, 1984) and high protein content of groundnut cake which is the main test ingredient as reported by Rostagno and Barbosa, (1995). Groundnut cake was reported to contain high level of edible oil (Atasie et al, 2009) and this might be responsible for significant dietary effect of treatments on ether extract of broilers' meat.…”
