TNIbetain™ 96 is used in premix improves vitamin stability compared to choline chloride. Betaine supports normal body function and performance during periods of high ambient temperature by acting as an osmoregulator and normalizing cellular metabolism. When present in intestinal cells, Betaine can assist in maintaining gut tissue integrity, thus supporting nutrient absorption. Betaine is a methyl donor and supporting protein and DNA synthesis. Betaine can partially replace choline and is a more efficient methyl donor in comparison to choline chloride. Thus use of Betaine can contribute to improved carcass quality through the higher percentage of lean meat and reduction in fat deposition.
