Better feed efficiency with naturally sourced betaine

Betaine supplementation has ?numerous positive effects on animal performance. Recent studies with betaine from sugar beet molasses looked if this naturally derived betaine can substitute a certain amount of added methionine in broiler diets. Betaine (BET) or trimethylglycine is a zwitterionic (neutral molecule with bipolar structure) quaternary ammonium compound.
