Betaine is a methyl-group donor that participates in methylation reactions, supporting energy and protein metabolism and ultimately contributing to improved performance and feed conversion ratio (FCR) in livestock and poultry. Numerous studies have also shown positive effects of betaine on layer performance, including increased production and improved eggshell quality. In addition, benefits of using betaine in animal and poultry feed include improved liver health, a lower incidence of fatty liver and ascites, reduced abdominal fat, and improved carcass quality.
With betaine present in the diet, the essential amino acid methionine is used less for methyl donation, allowing more of this valuable amino acid to be directed toward protein synthesis and muscle development.
