Used primarily in animal nutrition as a source of methionine, an essential amino acid. It supports protein synthesis, improves feed efficiency, and promotes growth in poultry and swine. Commonly added to livestock feed in liquid form due to better absorption and handling properties. Also helps in maintaining sulfur balance and supports overall metabolic health in ruminants. Widely used in poultry farming to enhance egg production and improve feathering. Its organic acid nature contributes to gut health by lowering intestinal pH and inhibiting harmful bacteria.
