Methionine hydroxy analog-calcium

Description:
Methionine hydroxy analog-calcium, with the CAS number 4857-44-7, is a synthetic amino acid derivative that serves as a dietary supplement, particularly in animal nutrition. It is a calcium salt of the hydroxy analog of methionine, an essential amino acid crucial for protein synthesis and various metabolic processes. This compound is characterized by its role in promoting growth and improving feed efficiency in livestock, particularly in poultry and swine. Methionine hydroxy analog-calcium is often used as a methionine source in animal feed formulations, providing a more stable and bioavailable form compared to traditional methionine sources. It is typically presented as a white to off-white powder, soluble in water, and has a relatively low toxicity profile. The compound is valued for its ability to enhance the nutritional quality of animal diets, supporting overall health and productivity. Additionally, it may play a role in reducing nitrogen waste in animal excretion, contributing to more sustainable farming practices.
