NATURA^® BETAINE L

Reduce Feed Costs

In times of high ingredient prices, nutritionists look for ways to lower feed costs while maintaining profitable growth, performance and feed efficiency.

Natura Betaine L can help improve specific nutritional needs at each stage of production, especially during times of stress (rapid growth, crowding, pathogen challenge, temperature extremes, etc.) and help lower feed costs.

Sparing Methionine and Choline with Natura Betaine L

Feed costs can be reduced by lowering methionine and choline levels with Natura Betaine which is a more efficient methyl group donor than either choline or methionine. Natura Betaine increases lean meat yield and reduces feed costs by the reduction of choline chloride and methionine in feed formulations.  It also reduces the negative effects of osmotic stress and helps maintain gut integrity, which in turn can positively impact animal performance.

Natura Betaine provides two Unique Functions

1. Methyl donor

· Natural Betaine is a more efficient methyl donor than either methionine or choline

· Natural Betaine can reduce feed costs by “sparing” methionine and choline in poultry feeds

2. Osmolyte enhancement

· Natural Betaine supports the maintenance of water and ion balance in living cells

Important Activities of Natura Betaine L

Methionine is the first limiting amino acid in poultry diets based on soybean meal and it functions as a key intermediate in methyl group transfer. Numerous methylation reactions involve methionine in which methionine is converted to S-adenosylmethionine, the methyl group donor, the back reaction requires betaine as the provider of the methyl group necessary to convert homocysteine to methionine.
