Betaine (Trimethylglycine) is a key biochemical metabolite in the methionine-homocysteine cycle. It is produced in the body through the oxidation of choline, primarily in the liver and kidneys, and is also directly absorbed from feed.
Betaine acts function and reduced accumulation of fat in the liver.as a methyl donor and has lipotropic activity, which contributes to improved liver<\/p>\n
Mechanism of Action – Methyl Group Donation<\/strong><\/p>\n Betaine transfers a methyl group to homocysteine via the enzyme Effects on Poultry Productivity<\/strong><\/p>\n Studies in poultry have shown that betaine supplementation improves breast yield in broilers and turkeys. Betaine as an Osmolyte:<\/strong><\/p>\n Betaine acts as an osmolyte, helping to maintain intracellular osmolarity and protecting proteins and enzymes from denaturation. Energy Conservation and Cellular Protection<\/strong><\/p>\n Maintenance of cellular water balance typically relies on ion pumps (such as Na+\/K+-ATPase), which consume significant energy. The osmolyte activity of betaine reduces dependence on these mechanisms, conserving energy and minimizing cellular damage under stress conditions. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Liquid betaine – 35% natural betaine derived from sugar beets. <\/p>\n Suitable for use in drinking water or liquid additives.<\/p>\n Betaine anhydrous – A pure, crystalline, water-free form of betaine. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u05de\u05d5\u05d1\u05d9\u05dc \u05dc\u05e9\u05d9\u05e4\u05d5\u05e8 \u05d1\u05ea\u05e4\u05d5\u05e7\u05ea \u05e9\u05e8\u05d9\u05e8 \u05d4\u05d7\u05d6\u05d4<\/strong> (Breast yield)<\/strong> \u05d1\u05ea\u05e8\u05e0\u05d2\u05d5\u05dc\u05d5\u05ea \u05d5\u05d1\u05ea\u05e8\u05e0\u05d2\u05d5\u05dc\u05d9 \u05d4\u05d5\u05d3\u05d5 \u05dc\u05e4\u05d9\u05d8\u05d5\u05dd.<\/p>\n
betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase (BHMT),
thereby facilitating the formation of methionine. This process supports protein synthesis, efficient amino acid utilization, and maintenance of proper methylation balance in the body. <\/p>\n
This effect is attributed to improved protein utilization efficiency, sparing of dietary methionine, and reduced metabolic stress.<\/p>\n
It is rapidly absorbed and extensively metabolized – an especially critical property in conditions of heat stress, dehydration, or changes in water salinity (particularly in aquaculture).<\/p>\n
