Betafin is also a methyl group donor, allowing some or all added choline chloride and some added methionine to be replaced in pig and poultry feeds.
Betafin provides feed manufacturers and pig and poultry producers with the opportunity to reduce feed costs and maintain pig and poultry growth and feed conversion.
As an osmolyte, Betafin accumulates in animal cells where it attracts water, protecting them from dehydration and allowing the animal to maintain its water balance in a more energy-efficient way. This means that the animal uses less energy to maintain water balance and more energy can be used for lean growth.
Betafin offers producers the opportunity to increase profit by achieving more pig or bird growth from less feed.
