An experiment was conducted to compare the rates of disappearance of amino acids (AA) from the small intestine and their net appearance in the blood draining only the small intestine (mesenteric-drained viscera) and the whole gastrointestinal tract (portal-drained viscera) of cows fed a silage-based diet supplemented or not with ruminally protected Met. Five lactating dairy cows (118 ± 4 DIM) equipped with duodenal and ileal cannulae (n = 2) or a duodenal cannula only (n = 3), two of which were multicatheterized, were fed a TMR top dressed with 0 or 72 g of ruminally protected Met per day. The addition of ruminally protected Met to the diet increased the duodenal flux of Met leading to a higher apparent digestibility of Met in the small intestine. Sixty-six percent of Met from ruminally protected Met bypassed the rumen and 82% of that Met disappeared from the small intestine. Arterial plasma Met concentrations numerically increased with ruminally protected Met (45 vs. 18 µM), while total AA concentration decreased. Feeding ruminally protected Met resulted in higher concentrations of urea-N and glucose in arterial plasma. Milk production and milk composition were unaffected. The disappearance of essential AA across the small intestine was equivalent (101%) to their flux through the mesenteric-drained viscera while the portal:mesenteric-drained viscera flux ratio for each essential AA varied from 38% for Thr to 76% for Phe. The portal:mesenteric-drained viscera flux ratio for Met was 66%. These results confirm observations made with pigs and sheep.
