NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE May 2022 85 Evonik publishes first edition of MetAMINO® ATLAS Evonik, one of the world leaders in specialty chemicals, has published the first edition of the MetAMINO® ATLAS. The report displays the results of 15 performance trials investigating the relative nutritive value of DL-methionine vs. liquid MHAFA and MHA-Ca in animal diets. “For cost-effective purchasing, feed formulation and animal production, precise knowledge about the relative nutritive value of DL-methionine compared with liquid MHA-FA and MHA-Ca is essential,” says Dr. Jan-Olaf Barth, head of the Efficient Nutrition product line at Evonik. “With the MetAMINO® ATLAS, we want to support our business partners in making knowledge-based purchase decisions for sustainable and economical livestock operations.” The trials were conducted in eleven countries on five continents under different climatic, geographic and farm conditions - in experimental settings as well as at commercial farms with broiler chickens, laying hens, swine and aqua species. “Across all trials and all species, we found that comparable animal performance criteria were achieved when 100 units of MHA-products were replaced with 65 units of MetAMINO®,” says Nils Niedner, product manager MetAMINO®. Evonik has published the first edition of the MetAMINO® ATLAS. The report displays the results of 15 performance trials investigating the relative bioavailability of supplementary methionine sources in animal diets.
