Betain-Vet Powder 500gm

Betain-Vet™ Powder
Betaine Hydrochloride USP
Enhance Stress Resistance
 Betaine is a functional nutrient commonly used as a feed additive in animal nutrition, mainly as
methyl donor. In the past betaine was available as betaine anhydrous extracted from sugar beets;
nowadays is present in different chemical forms and produced by different methods. Compared
with betaine, Betaine Hydrochlorde is better in anticaking, hygroscopicity and fluidity.

Indication

1. Enhances stress resistance

Betaine participates in the immunity regulation of animal bodies by influencing the generation of
antibodies and phagocytic activity of macrophage. Therefore betaine can enhance an animal’s
immunity and stress resistance, most notably heat stress and coccidian injection stress.

2. Saves methionine to cut feed costs

Betaine, methionine and choline are three kinds of main methyl donors, and play an important
role in methylate reaction. As to the function of providing methyl, betaine can partially replace
methionine to cut feed cost.

3. Regulates osmotic pressure to maintain cell water balance.
When an external osmotic pressure generates convulsion, body cells can conduct self-regulation
or absorb betaine from the outside to prevent water loss and salt entry, stabilize enzyme activity
and biomacromolecule, further, regulate osmotic pressure and ionic balance and maintain normal
nutrient absorption and physical health. During production, such action has the following
advantages: improve the curative effects of anticoccidial drugs, protect weanling pigs against
diarrhea and enhance the resistance of shrimp larvae to high humidity, high salt and high
permeation in seawater.

4. Improves meat quality

Betaine can sharply decrease back fat thickness of hogs and the abdomen fat rate of poultry,
increase lean meat percentage and pectoral muscle yield, and improve meat quality; reduce fat
content in animals’ livers and prevent fatty liver of poultry and aquatic animal.

5. Feeding stimulation

Betaine, with its delicate flavor, can stimulate the smell and taste receptors of fish and shrimp,
and is ideal phagostimulant for aquatic animal. Betaine can improve feed’s delicious flavor,
promote ingestion, shorten ingestion time, increase feed utilization rate and reduce water
pollution
