Comparison of high-methionine (HM) maize as a substitute for DLmethionine in broiler diets.

Q:

Can high methionine maize be a substitute for synthetic DL-methionine in broiler diets? A: Preliminary studies show that with a 5% decrease in soybean meal (SBM), high-methionine (HM) corn is a potential ingredient to substitute. But 20% of the flock fed HM corn died from heart attacks.
