DL-Methionine Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- D,L-Methionine
- DL Methionine
- Racemic Methionine
- 2-Amino-4-(methylthio)butanoic Acid
DL-methionine supplier for animal feed, premix and livestock nutrition buyers in Malaysia. Also called D,L-methionine, DL methionine and racemic methionine (CAS 59-51-8, formula C5H11NO2S), this essential sulphur amino acid is supplied as a white crystalline powder for compound feed and premix manufacture.
Commercial supply centres on feed-grade DL-methionine, typically specified at about 99% assay for direct ration fortification, and free-flowing premix grades for vitamin and mineral packs. Exact assay, particle handling needs and pack format are confirmed against the enquiry rather than assumed as a fixed stock item.
Feed mills dose crystalline DL-methionine into poultry, swine, aquaculture and other livestock diets to balance limiting sulphur amino acids and support lower crude-protein programmes. Premix manufacturers include it in amino-acid balancing packs where a defined methionine addition is required.
Send the required grade, assay or specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about DL-methionine
What is DL-methionine used for in animal feed?
DL-methionine is a synthetic racemic form of the essential sulphur amino acid methionine. Feed mills and premix plants add crystalline powder to poultry, swine, aquaculture and other compound feeds so the ration meets the target digestible methionine level, especially in cereal-based diets where methionine is often limiting.
Is DL-methionine the same as L-methionine or methionine hydroxy analogue?
No. DL-methionine is the racemic D and L mixture used widely in animal nutrition. L-methionine is the single L-isomer, and methionine hydroxy analogue (MHA) is a different chemical form. State the exact identity and grade in the enquiry so the quotation matches the required material.
What grades of DL-methionine are commonly requested?
Commercial feed buyers most often request feed-grade crystalline powder, typically around 99% assay, for direct feed addition. Premix manufacturers may specify a free-flowing premix grade suited to vitamin and mineral packs. Confirm the assay, particle handling needs and any impurity limits with the enquiry.
Is DL-methionine suitable for poultry feed and swine rations?
Yes. Poultry and swine compound feed are primary industrial uses for feed-grade DL-methionine. Suitability for a given formula depends on the species, energy and protein matrix, and the target digestible amino acid profile, so buyers should describe the application when enquiring.
What specification details should a buyer provide?
Include the grade, required assay or purity, any moisture or impurity limits, pack preference, quantity and delivery location. For an existing premix or feed line, attach the current specification or a representative sample requirement so the quote can be matched more closely.
Can documentation and packing be requested with the quotation?
Yes. List the product documents and preferred pack format in the enquiry. Available documentation, packing and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
