# A new era in amino acid balancing - All About Feed

> Research shows that lysine and methionine balancing matters for ruminants, with a focus on microbial protein and high-quality rumen undegradable protein. Rumen-protected methionine and lysine are needed in moderate crude protein diets across Europe. Manufacturers are developing protection methods but still struggle to balance ruminal protection with intestinal digestibility.

## Why it matters

Improved rumen-protected amino acid products could let European dairy and beef rations use less soybean meal, which is a modest bearish factor for soymeal. The commercial impact depends on whether these products become cost-effective and stable in feed.
