Betain HCl (Betaine Hydrochloride) is a multifunctional feed additive widely used in poultry, swine, and aquaculture nutrition. Derived from sugar beet and molasses, it plays a critical role in animal metabolism, stress resistance, and growth performance.
Key Functions of Betain HCl
- Methyl Donor: Supports methionine synthesis, protein metabolism, and muscle development
- Osmoregulator: Maintains cellular hydration and integrity during heat stress or environmental changes
Betain HCI Benefits in Animal Feed
- Improves growth rate and feed conversion ratio (FCR)
- Reduces heat stress and supports immune function
- Optimises nutrient utilisation, lowering methionine and choline chloride demand
- Enhances carcass quality by reducing fat accumulation
- Acts as a natural feed attractant, especially for fish, shrimp, and swine
Applications
Poultry (broilers & layers)
- Improves FCR and growth under heat stress
- Supports gut integrity and nutrient absorption
- Enhances carcass quality and production consistency
Swine
- Supports growth and feed efficiency in piglets
- Reduces stress impact during weaning and transport
- Enhances reproductive performance in sows
Aquaculture (fish & shrimp)
- Acts as a strong feeding attractant
- Improves stress resistance to salinity and temperature changes
- Supports immune response and reduces feed waste
