N-acyl-methionine is added to ruminant fodder.

Fodder for ruminants

The calcium salts of mono-hydroxymethyl lysine and bis(hydroxymethyl) lysine are prepared by reacting lysine and formaldehyde in water containing calcium ions at a pH of at least 8 and at most 12.5. The compounds are useful as fodder for ruminants.

Fodder for cows

N-hydroxymethyl methionine is incorporated in feeds for ruminants.

Feed additive for ruminants

Fodder, mixed fodder and silage are preserved with acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or esters or salts of such acids.

Preservative for fodder, mixed fodder and silage

Propylene glycol esters of propionic acid are added to silage to improve the quality thereof.

Silage aid

D,L-penicillamine is converted to D-penicillamine with the aid of L-lysine.

Optically active salt of protected D-penicillamine and L-lysine

Methionine is stabilized by adjusting the pH to the range from 3 to &lt;5. The source of the hydantoin is preferably 5-(beta-methylmercaptoethyl)-hydantoin.
