Desmeninol is a methionine hydroxyl analog. It is used as a feed additive for livestock, especially poultry to provide an essential amino acid necessary for the nutritional well being of farm raised animals. Desmeninol (ALIMET) has 88% methionine activity and is 100 percent absorbed by the animal. The benefits of ALIMET go beyond it being a methionine source, including: Antioxidant effect in the feed; Maintained performance during heat stress; Energy savings in the feed mill; Increased feed intake.
