Methionine is one of the main components of amino acid infusion and compound amino acids. Methionine can be used to synthesize medicinal vitamins, use the anti-fatty liver effect of methionine, and make hepatoprotective preparations. Therefore, methionine can be used to prevent and treat liver diseases such as chronic or acute hepatitis and cirrhosis, and can also be used to alleviate the toxic reactions of harmful substances such as arsenic, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, pyridine and quinoline.
1. Improve immune function
1) Non-specific immunity: Research reports indicate that the addition of LMA to the diet can increase the feed utilization rate and non-specific immune function of broilers.
2) Specific immunity
Numerous studies on humoral immunity have shown that methionine levels in the diet can affect the humoral immunity of animals.
2. Improve antioxidant capacity
Studies have found that methionine is one of the important nutrients. It can produce metabolites such as glutathione (GSH), cysteine, and sulfate through the transsulfation pathway. These sulfur-containing amino acids and GSH are antioxidant substances. Antioxidant substances such as GSH can remove H2O2 and lipid peroxygen free radicals in the body.
3. Improve reproductive performance
Methionine can increase the fertilization rate of hatching eggs and the hatching rate of fertilized eggs, and the chicks are healthy and tidy after hatching. Studies have shown that methionine is involved in sperm formation, and diets with low methionine levels will significantly reduce sperm density and effective sperm count.
4. Detoxification function
Methionine is an essential amino acid for animals, which can be used to detoxify toxic substances or drugs by methylation. The study found that methionine can be combined with mycotoxins in the diet to greatly reduce its toxicity, so it has a disease prevention and health care function for animals.
