98% Betaine Hydrochloride Powder Feed Grade CAS 590-46-5
Zinc citrate: Product Introduction
Betaine hydrochloride, chemically known as trimethylglycine hydrochloride, is a feed additive made from betaine and hydrochloric acid. As the hydrochloride form of betaine, it is more stable than free betaine (free betaine base) and less prone to hygroscopicity and clumping. Biologically, betaine hydrochloride is a highly efficient methyl donor, capable of participating in methylation reactions in animals, replacing methionine and choline, and promoting fat metabolism and protein synthesis.
Health Benefits
Betaine hydrochloride can act as a methyl donor, partially replacing methionine and choline chloride, thus reducing feed costs; it participates in fat metabolism, promotes protein synthesis, and improves lean meat percentage and carcass quality; it also acts as a buffer against osmotic pressure fluctuations, preventing cell water loss, improving animal tolerance to water shortage, high temperature, high salt, and hyperosmotic environments, stabilizing enzyme activity and the function of biomolecules, thereby regulating the water and ion balance in the animal's intestines, maintaining intestinal function, and alleviating diarrhea.
As a methyl donor, betaine hydrochloride can partially replace the functions of methionine and choline, improving nutrient utilization efficiency while reducing feed costs. Studies have shown that 30-80% of supplemental methionine can be replaced by betaine without affecting production performance.
Regarding intestinal microbial balance, betaine hydrochloride can regulate the intestinal flora structure, increasing the number of beneficial bacteria and reducing the proliferation of harmful bacteria. Studies have shown that betaine hydrochloride can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria, while inhibiting the reproduction of harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella.
In terms of immune regulation, betaine hydrochloride can enhance immune function and improve disease resistance. Studies have shown that betaine can increase the levels of serum immunoglobulins (such as IgG and IgM), enhancing humoral immunity. Furthermore, betaine can also increase the phagocytic activity of macrophages, enhancing cellular immunity.
In terms of intestinal barrier function, betaine hydrochloride can maintain the integrity of intestinal epithelial cells and enhance the mechanical barrier function of the intestine. Studies have shown that betaine hydrochloride can increase the expression of intestinal tight junction proteins (such as CLDN-1, CLDN-5, and ZO-1) and reduce intestinal permeability.
Betaine hydrochloride has significant antioxidant effects, enhancing antioxidant capacity and reducing oxidative stress damage.
Application Areas Overview
In the field of feed additives, betaine hydrochloride has become a popular "nutrient enhancer" in animal husbandry due to its unique physiological functions and economic value. It can not only improve feed utilization but also enhance animal immune function, improve meat quality, and improve growth performance.
Livestock and poultry feed: The weak acidity of betaine hydrochloride can regulate the pH value of feed, inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms, and extend the shelf life of feed. Simultaneously, the chloride ions released can replenish animal electrolytes and enhance the stress resistance of livestock and poultry. Adding 0.1%–0.2% betaine hydrochloride to broiler and pig feed can significantly improve feed conversion ratio and lean meat percentage.
Aquatic feed: Betaine hydrochloride has a better palatability-enhancing effect than pure betaine, and chloride ions can enhance the olfactory sensitivity of fish and shrimp to feed. Adding 0.15%–0.3% betaine hydrochloride to aquatic feed can reduce the mortality rate of fish and shrimp, especially suitable for the juvenile stage.
