Studies were conducted to quantify sulfur amino acid requirements of growing steers. In Exp. 1, six steers (160 kg) were used to determine the methionine requirement in the presence of excess L-Cys. Treatments were abomasal infusion of water only or water plus 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10g/d of L-Met. Steers were fed 2.4 kg/d DM of a diet designed to minimize basal Met supply to the small intestine. Continuous ruminal infusions of VFA (506 g/d) and abomasal infusions of dextrose (150 g/d) increased energy supply to the abomasum. Break-point analysis estimated maximal N retention at 5.8 g/d supplemental L-Met. The basal absorbable Met supply was 2.1 g/d; therefore, the total Met requirement was 7.9 g/d when excess Cys was available. In Exp. 2, five steers (195 kg) were used to determine the efficiency of transsulfuration. Treatments were abomasal infusion of water only or water plus 1.62 or 3.25 g/d L-Cys or 2 o4 g/d L-Met. Diet and infusions were similar to those on Exp. 1, except the amino acid mixture was devoid of Cys and all steers received 4 g/d L-Met to make total sulfur amino acids, but not necessarily Met, limiting. Nitrogen retention increased in response to Met but not Cys infusion and was maximized at 2 g/d supplemental L-Met; thus, the total Met requirement was near 8.4 g/d when the Cys supply was 2.1 g/d. Supplemental Cys did not spare Met, suggesting that nonprotein functions of Met may be quantitatively important.
