Similarly, during the finishing period on feedlot, increasing levels of RPM, along with 4 g/head/day of supplemental lysine, did not affect animal performance (BW, ADG, DMI) ( It is important to emphasize that the inefficient utilization of high-protein diets in the rumen can result in excessive nitrogen losses to the environment, thereby contributing to the production of environmentally harmful gases ( In terms of maternal performance, gestating beef cows appear not to respond to RPM supplementation, as no effects have been observed on BW or body condition score (BCS)

Certain genetic variations in folate metabolism, particularly those found in the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene influences folate status
More recent transcriptomic studies have described additional phenotypes, including disease-associated microglia (DAM), which are characterized by downregulated homeostatic genes and upregulated inflammatory ones [126]
If the data shows a clear response plateau at 4mg, that signals that a higher dose would likely provide additional benefit
