Product Overview

Betaine Hydrochloride is a natural, efficient, and multifunctional feed additive, chemically known as trimethylglycine hydrochloride. It is extracted from sugar beet by-products or chemically synthesized, offering multiple benefits including methyl group donation, osmotic regulation, palatability improvement, and intestinal health protection. It is widely used in livestock, poultry, and aquaculture feeds.

Key Functions

1. High-Efficiency Methyl Donor

Can replace approximately 30% of methionine and choline chloride, reducing feed costs. Promotes protein synthesis and improves animal growth performance.

2. Osmotic Regulator

Maintains normal cell volume and function, enhancing stress resistance. Particularly suitable for aquatic animals to cope with salinity changes.

3. Appetite Enhancer

Sweet taste improves feed palatability and increases feed intake.

4. Intestinal Health Protection

Provides hydrochloric acid, lowering gastric pH and promoting digestive enzyme activation. Inhibits harmful bacteria growth and reduces diarrhea incidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary role of Betaine Hydrochloride in feed?
It serves as a highly efficient methyl donor and osmotic regulator, helping animals maintain cell function, improve growth, and resist environmental stress.
Can Betaine Hydrochloride replace Methionine?
Yes, it can effectively replace approximately 30% of methionine and choline chloride in feed formulas, which significantly reduces the overall cost of the feed.
Why is it particularly beneficial for shrimp and fish?
In aquaculture, it acts as a powerful attractant and osmotic regulator, helping aquatic animals cope with salinity changes and improving their survival rates.
Is the product stable during high-temperature processing?
Yes, Betaine Hydrochloride is highly heat-resistant, meaning it suffers minimal loss of activity during the feed pelleting and expansion processes.
Are there any withdrawal periods or residues?
No, as a natural source additive, it is green and safe, leaving no harmful residues and requiring no withdrawal period before slaughter.
What is the shelf life and storage requirement?
It has a shelf life of 2 years. It should be stored in a dry, ventilated, and shady place, kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
