INTRODUCTION
Lysine is an essential amino acid used as a building block in creating various
proteins. Therefore, meeting lysine requirement is fundamental to the health
and wellness of dairy cows. Because lysine cannot be produced within the body,
it must be supplied through other sources. As you will read in this e-book,
meeting MP Lysine requirements provides numerous benefits to dairy cattle.
LYSINE AT WORK
• Vital for milk protein production
• Plays a role in growth, as well
as the production of carnitine,
which turns fats into energy
• Assists in calcium absorption
• Can help with injury and
disease recovery
Over the past few decades, improved genetics and increased cow performance
have continually increased the lysine requirement in dairy cattle. Today, rumen
protected lysine gives dairy producers the ability to use lower-cost ingredients
and still maintain desired milk production levels.

THE IMPORTANCE OF
IN DAIRY PRODUCTION1
MP LYSINELysine is one of the first two limiting essential amino
acids in North American dairy diets and must be
supplied by the cow’s diet, as it cannot be produced
naturally within the body. A key benefit of balancing
amino acids to meet lysine requirements is achieving
maximum milk production while not overfeeding
other expensive nutrients. In addition, using rumen
protected lysine allows dairy producers to:
• Feed diets lower in crude protein
• Reduce the overall nitrogen excretion
from their cows into the environment
• Potentially see improved health benefits

INCREASED PRODUCTION LOWERS BREAK-EVEN COSTS AND INCREASES PROFITIt costs the same to keep a cow in a herd whether
she’s producing 60 or 90 lbs/h/d. Both situations
require the same amount of dry matter (DM) to meet
the cow’s maintenance requirements.1.1 The operating
and fixed overhead costs are the same as well.
The difference is how much producers spend on
feed to support higher milk production. The key to
profitability is increasing milk production in a cost-
effective manner; in other words, for every penny
you invest in feed, you need to make two pennies
in milk income.
Figure 1 is based on an article written by Jim Salfer,
a dairy specialist with the University of Minnesota. 1.2
Using $15/cwt milk and dry matter costs of
$0.11/lbs you can see the economic impact
improved production has.
By increasing production, the fixed costs that are the
same for each animal (regardless of production level)
are spread across more pounds of milk. This lowers
the overall cost of production or break-even point.
The break-even point for each scenario can be
determined using the formula below.

In the scenario shown in Figure 2, increasing
production from 50 to 90 lbs/h/d reduces the total
cost of production from $0.17 to $0.15/lbs of milk.
This is especially important in times of low milk
prices when every penny counts.
ANALYSISImplementing cost-effective
measures to increase milk
production can increase milk
income, increase IOFC (income
over feed cost) and lower the
overall cost of production
(break-even point).

MEET MP LYSINE REQUIREMENTS AND INCREASE PROFIT2
In well-managed herds, an important step in improving
milk production and increasing profit is ensuring
MP Lysine requirements are met. This is not
always as easy as it appears.
Nutritional software programs cannot account for
feedstuff variability. This variability means MP Lysine
requirements may not be met, and in turn, milk
production may suffer. Providing additional MP Lysine
in the diet can ensure lysine requirements are met
and maximum production is consistently achieved.
Figure 3 highlights a number of trials in which a rumen
protected lysine product was used to increase MP
Lysine levels. The result is increased milk production
and profit.
As Figure 3 shows, in well-managed dairy herds it’s
common to see increases of at least 3 lbs/h/d when
supplying 10 additional grams of MP Lysine to
a cow’s diet.
CONCLUSIONThe key to profitability is increasing milk production in
a cost-effective manner. Implementing cost-effective
measures to increase milk production can increase
milk income, increase IOFC and lower your overall
cost of production (break-even point). Providing
additional MP Lysine in the diet can ensure lysine
requirements are met and maximum production
is consistently achieved.

THE IMPACT OF
BLOOD MEAL VARIABILIT Y ON DAIRY PRODUCTION AND PROFITABILITY3
Meeting MP Lysine
requirements is critical for
maximizing production,
efficiency and overall health
in dairy cows.
This essential amino acid must be
added into diets, as it cannot be
produced naturally within the body.
To meet MP Lysine requirements, many
dairy producers turn to byproducts or
commodities such as blood meal.
Variations in blood meal quality, however,
impact the amount of MP Lysine available
to the animal, which can result in lysine
requirements not being met.
SECTION 2
3. Kemin Technical Literature: Percentages, Grams, and Costs: A Comparison of Blood Meal Sources.

ANALYSISThe percentage of unavailable lysine indicates how much
damage was done to the lysine in the blood meal during heating.
This results in reduced levels of MP Lysine available to the animal.
THE VARIABILITY OF BLOOD MEALBlood meal (BM) is heated and dried while being
processed. During this time, Maillard reactions occur,
which bind sugars to amino groups, reducing the
digestibility and availability of nitrogen or amino acids
such as lysine. It is impossible to determine the extent
of the damage caused during the heating and drying
process without performing testing in the laboratory.
Low blood meal prices may look like a bargain—
but without testing, the true value of a sample will
remain unknown. Therefore, Kemin collected blood
meal samples from feed manufacturers and dairy
producers throughout the United States to measure
specific amino acid digestibility and determine the
bioavailability of MP Lysine in blood meal. The content
and supply of lysine from blood meal can be evaluated
using three characteristics:
• Percentage of MP Lysine as compared to
the total lysine (Figure 4)
• Grams of MP Lysine provided by a specific
amount of blood meal (Figure 5)
• Cost per gram of MP Lysine provided by
the blood meal (Figure 6)

As Figure 5 shows, there is great variability in the
number of grams of MP Lysine present in the various
blood meal samples. Therefore, dairy producers cannot
expect consistent levels of MP Lysine in the blood
meal they purchase, even if it is obtained through
the same source.
The cost of a gram of MP Lysine is not only impacted
by the price of blood meal but by the quality of the
product. The results in Figure 5 were used to calculate
the actual cost per gram of MP Lysine with a price of
$1,100/ton for blood meal (Figure 6).

BLOOD MEAL QUALITY IS NOT IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER4
One true indicator of blood meal quality is nitrogen
digestibility. This indicates how much of the nitrogen
contained in the blood meal can actually be digested
and used by the cow. If a sample contains a high
level of undigestible nitrogen, there is very little
the cow can do except excrete the nitrogen into
the environment.
Nitrogen digestibility often correlates to amino acid
digestibility as well, letting us know the levels of
available lysine or methionine in the blood meal.
The following samples were evaluated using the
In Vitro Nitrogen Indigestibility Assay (IVNIDA)
system and the results show visual inspection
simply cannot determine blood meal quality.

THE OPPORTUNITY COST OF FEEDING HIGHLY VARIABLE INGREDIENTS5
Variation in the digestibility of the protein and amino
acids contained in feed ingredients has a direct impact
on production and profitability. One way to evaluate
this impact is by determining the opportunity cost
(the loss of potential profit) when feeding a poor
quality feed with low digestibility instead of a good
quality feed that is highly digestible. For example,
what is the opportunity cost of using good versus
poor quality blood meal?
A nine-week trial conducted at the Cornell University
Ruminant Center focused on the impact blood meal
quality has on milk production. The only difference
between the two diets was the quality of the
blood meal.
• The poor quality blood meal contained
34 percent undigestible nitrogen (N)—
meaning only 66 percent of the N in the blood
meal could be digested and used by the cow,
while the remaining 34 percent was excreted
into the environment.
• The good quality blood meal contained
only nine percent undigestible nitrogen—
meaning 91 percent of the N could be
absorbed and used by the cow.
As shown in Figure 7, blood meal quality quickly
impacted the production levels of the cows.
The average difference in energy corrected milk (ECM)
yield between the two treatments was 4.2 lbs/h/d.
The possible opportunity cost for each one percent
reduction in digestibility for a 500-cow dairy is
shown in Table 5. In the Cornell University trial,
the difference in blood meal digestibility was
25 percent and thus, each number shown below
can be multiplied by 25 to calculate the full
opportunity cost.

CONCLUSIONThe wide variation in blood meal
quality means MP Lysine requirements
may not be met, and actual milk and
milk component production may
be less than predicted. Therefore,
purchase decisions based on price
alone are risky because a less
expensive supply of blood meal may
have a considerable difference in
digestibility, resulting in a higher
opportunity cost (lost profit).

COMPARING RUMEN PROTECTED LYSINE PRODUCTS6
Feeding a rumen protected
lysine can reduce your
reliance on commodity
protein sources, such as
blood meal, to provide MP
Lysine and limit the impact
the variation in quality can
have on production levels.
It can also create additional
opportunities to supply more
nutrients within the feed.
Replacing blood meal with
rumen protected lysine:
• Reduces MP Lysine variability
• Provides a cost-effective source of MP Lysine
• Creates space within the diet to improve other priorities (e.g., energy and fiber)
SECTION 3

COMPARING RUMEN PROTECTED LYSINE PRODUCTSMaking a purchase decision in today’s economic
climate requires an in-depth examination of a product’s
features and benefits. From functionality to price,
focusing on one or two characteristics doesn’t provide
the complete picture—this is especially true when
comparing rumen protected lysine products. While
it appears some products may have advantages
(e.g. percent bypass or price per pound), it is
important to gauge a product’s efficacy on the
sum of all of its characteristics.
CHARACTERISTICS NECESSARY TO EFFECTIVELY EVALUATE RUMEN PROTECTED LYSINE:
LYSINE CONCENTRATION =
Percent (by weight) of the product
that is lysine.
RUMEN ESCAPE =
Percent of the lysine contained by the
product that is un-degraded in the rumen.
INTESTINAL AVAILABILITY =
Percent of the un-degraded lysine available
for absorption by the intestines and available
for use by the animal.
MP LYSINE =
Percent of the total lysine contained
in the product available and utilized by
the animal (100 percent x rumen escape
percentage x intestinal availability percentage
= MP Lysine percentage).

If the product does not release the lysine after
passing through the rumen, the lysine is wasted.
Most importantly, neither the rumen microbes nor

Lysine concentration, rumen escape and intestinal
availability determine which product is the most
efficient at delivering MP Lysine to the cow. A cost
comparison in Table 6 substantiates which commercial
product is the most cost-effective source of MP Lysine.
Some contend high rumen escape delivers an
adequate volume of available lysine. On the contrary,
high rumen escape isn’t enough to ensure that the
cow receives the MP Lysine needed to reap the
production or nutritional benefits. When selecting your
lysine source, review each characteristic of a rumen
protected lysine product to determine which product
provides the most cost-effective supply of MP Lysine.
A price comparison indicates USA Lysine is the most
cost-effective source of MP Lysine available on the
market today.
RUMEN ESCAPE NO LONGER ENOUGH7
Innovation in amino acid nutrition is changing
how dairy cows are fed, improving milk production
and performance. What’s changed? Research shows
achieving optimal milk production requires more
than rumen escape. For example, lysine has little
impact on a cow’s production if the lysine is not
actually absorbed in her small intestine.
MP Lysine is the amount of lysine passing through
the rumen in a form that is available for absorption
in the small intestine. Higher levels of MP Lysine
provide a more efficient use of protein because
the lysine is intestinally available to the cow.
One product delivers on rumen escape and
bioavailability, and it’s also the most cost-effective
rumen protected lysine on the market—USA Lysine.

CONCLUSIONReplacing blood meal with rumen protected
lysine helps reduce the variability of
lysine in the diet and can create additional
opportunities to supply more nutrients
in the feed. When evaluating rumen
protected lysine products on the four major
characteristics (lysine concentration,
rumen escape, intestinal availability and
MP Lysine) and comparing the price of the
products, it becomes clear that USA Lysine
is the most cost-effective lysine source
on the market today.
