This publication-based doctoral thesis evaluated the potential role of methionine as first-limiting amino acid for growing Fleckvieh (German Simmental) bulls. An experimental feeding study was conducted to record growth performance. Metabolome analyses allowed for the evaluation of the bull's metabolic response to supplemented methionine. The combined evaluation of the results allows for the adaptation of amino acid feeding recommendations, ultimately enabling more sustainable beef production.      «
