Betaine Hcl for Poultry Birds
Betaine HCL for Poultry Birds - Betaine HCL for Poultry Birds Diet
Betaine has many important functions in the health and performance of broiler chickens, especially under conditions of heat stress. ... In practical poultry nutrition, betaine can play a role in improving performance and carcass composition, reducing litter moisture as well as helping to overcome coccidiosis and stress.
Betaine hydrochloride (HCl) was fed in diets which were reduced in methionine, choline and energy (oil) in three replicated broiler trials. The PC (Positive Control) was a high specification corn- soybean meal diet. Levels of standardised ileal digestible (SID) lysine and methionine+cysteine were 1.20 and 0.84% in the starter (1-18 days) and 1.10 and 0.803% respectively in the grower (17-38 days). ME levels were in the range of 12.55-12.97 MJ/kg. The NC (Negative Control) was as PC with removal of 1.05 kg/t dl methionine, all added choline and 10 kg/t oil (0.209 MJ/kg).
Betaine is a trimethyl derivative found in living organisms in deserts and low rainfall areas. It acts as an osmolyte to help maintain cellular water balance and as a methyl donor through methionine recycling. Increased water retention due to the osmolytic effect of betaine increases the volume of the cell, thereby increase the anabolic activity, integrity of cell membrane and overall performance of the bird.
