Definition and Composition Racemethionine, also known as DL-methionine, is an amino acid used to meet animals' requirements in sulfur amino acids such as methionine and cysteine. It is composed of two enantiomers: D-methionine and L-methionine.
Functionality and Importance Methionine is considered the first limiting amino acid for broilers fed a practical corn-soybean meal diet, highlighting the significance of racemethionine supplementation in animal nutrition.
Formulation in Feed Racemethionine is commonly utilized in animal feed formulations. It may be included as dry DL-methionine (DL-Met; 99% pure) or as a liquid DL-methionine hydroxy analog-free acid (MHA-FA, containing 88% of the active substance).
Interrelationship with Protein and Lipotropic Action Methionine, including racemethionine, plays a role as a lipotropic agent, aiding in the production of lean carcasses. Its interrelationship with protein involves balancing protein synthesis and acting as a methyl donor, influencing choline, betaine, folic acid, and vitamin B12 metabolism.
Chirality and Biological Activity While all amino acids occurring in animal tissues are L-isomers, methionine presents an exception as birds can utilize both D- and L-forms or a DL-racemic mixture.
