Betaine hydrochloride (HCl) is an N-trimethylated form of the amino acid glycine with a chemical structure similar to choline.
Betaine Hydrochloride is a quaternary ammonium salt, lactone alkaloids, with active N-CH3 and within the structure of fat. It take part in the biochemical reaction of animal and provide methyl, it is helpful to the synthesis & metabolism of protein and nucleic acid. Improve the metabolism of fat and increase the flesh and improve immunologic function, and adjust the penetration pressure of animal and help to the growth.

Functions of Betaine HCL
1. Can offer methyl, as a methyl donor. Efficient methyl donor, can partially replace methionine and choline chloride, decrease the expense of feed.
2. Have attractant activity.It can promote the animal sense of smell and taste, promote animal feeding, improve the feed palatability and usage. Increase feed consumption, improve daily weight gain, it’s the main attractant of aquatic feed ingredients. For fish, crustaceans, it is perfect for fish attractant, smell strong temptation, significantly increased food intake, promoting development; can likewise enhance the piglet feed rate, and promote the development.
3. Betaine HCL is a osmotic pressure catastrophe buffering material. When the osmotic pressure have change, betaine hcl can efficiently prevent cell moisture loss, enhance the NA/K pump function, enhance the challenge the lack of water, heat, high salt and high osmotic environment tolerance, stability of enzyme activity and function of biological macromolecules, ion balance, consequently managing the animal intestinal water maintenance of digestive function, occurrence sluggish diarrhea. At the very same time, betaine hydrochloride can enhance the seedling specifically young shrimp, fry survival rate.
5. Have synergistic effect with anticoccidial drugs, enhance the alleviative effect. improve the nutrient absorption rate, promoting poultry development.
6. Can secure vitamin.has a protective effect to VA, VB, enhance the application effect.
