AminoShure®-XM Precision Release Methionine is the latest breakthrough in amino acid balancing technology. Using Balchem’s proprietary X-Technology, AminoShure®-XM protects the methionine core through the rumen and releases it gradually in the small intestine—ensuring efficient nutrient delivery exactly where the cow needs it.

With over 50 years of encapsulation expertise, Balchem has redefined performance through a system that optimizes core composition, coating durability, and release timing. This innovation provides the highest bioavailability and cost-efficiency per unit of metabolizable methionine on the market.

Key Features of X-Technology:

• Superior Feed Stability: Lipid-based coating ensures greater durability than polymer or ethylcellulose systems.
• Optimized Rumen Protection: Designed to resist degradation, allowing more methionine to reach the small intestine.
• Controlled Intestinal Release: Gradual nutrient delivery supports sustained absorption and productivity.
• Lower Cost per Unit of Nutrient: Higher bioavailability reduces total encapsulation cost per metabolizable methionine unit.

Methionine is an essential amino acid—a key building block for protein synthesis in all tissues. In dairy cows, it is one of the first-limiting amino acids, meaning insufficient methionine directly limits milk protein production, growth, reproduction, and tissue maintenance. Because natural feed sources of methionine are largely degraded in the rumen, encapsulated methionine is essential for effective supplementation.

Benefits of AminoShure®-XM

• Increased Milk Protein Production: Helps raise milk protein levels by 0.10–0.20%, supporting cheese yield and milk value.
• Reduced Environmental Impact: Enables precise ration balancing, minimizing nitrogen and phosphorus excretion.
• Improved Transition and Early Lactation Performance: Enhances energy balance, liver health, and peak milk output in fresh cows.
