Abstract

This study was conducted to increase the content of taurine in milk from the dairy cows fed the rumen protected DL-methionine matrix and methionie hydroxy analog matrix for 42days. Dairy cows fed rumen protected DL-methionine matrix showed 23% increased milk taurine concentration compared to the value of the control groups. Dairy cows fed rumen protected methionine hydroxy analog matrix showed 53% increased milk taurine concentration compared to the value for the control groups (p<0.01).
