MetAMINO® is a white to yellowish crystalline amino acid manufactured at purity levels exceeding 99% DL-methionine. It plays a pivotal role in balancing nutrition to maximize performance for monogastric farm animals, pets and aquatic species. Besides MetAMINO®, Evonik offers Mepron®, a rumen-stable form of methionine.
Typical Applications
Methionine is the first limiting amino acid in commercial poultry diets, in milk production, and typically in fish diets. It is also the third or fourth limiting amino acid in modern swine diets.

Lorem ipsum new Headline How MetAMINO® works
Lorem ipsum it's about 65
MetAMINO® is the preferred source of DL-methionine of the feed industry, essential for livestock growth and health, with a purity level exceeding 99% with 100% bioavailability. In poultry, swine, and aquatic animals, it enhances feed efficiency by optimizing protein synthesis vital for meat and egg production. Research, validated by trials with over 2 million animals, shows that 65 units of MetAMINO® can replace 100 units of methionine hydroxy analogue without compromising animal performance. This concept allows customers to use less MetAMINO® while achieving the same results, thereby lowering feed costs and increasing profitability.
Market-leading product carbon footprint
A lifecycle assessment shows that one unit of MetAMINO® generates 2.89 units of CO2 equivalent. When weighted according to bioavailable methionine content, the carbon footprint of MetAMINO® is approximately 35% lower than the global industry average.*
This is because of Evonik’s high use of renewable energy. For example, we use 100% renewable energy at our Antwerp production site. Additionally, the superior bioefficacy of MetAMINO® means only 65 units are required to achieve the same supplementation rate as 100 units of MHA. This makes MetAMINO® a more sustainable product.
