Betafin natural betaine is extracted from sustainable sugar beet molasses for use in pig diets
Produced using a proprietary chromatographic separation process
Betaine has two important functions in animal nutrition
Osmolyte
Methyl donor
Betaine as an osmolyte
Helps maintain cellular fluid balance
Improved gut integrity
Spares metabolic energy
Betaine as a methyl group donor
Spares metabolic energy
Reduces feed costs by replacing some added methionine and all choline chloride supplements as methyl donors
Research has shown that Betafin natural betaine supports:
Production performance
Maintain gut integrity at times of production stress
Reduces the negative effects of heat stress
Improved nutrient digestibility
Sows – increased litter size and Increased litter weight at weaning
Weaners – support gut structure and strength
Grower/finishers – increased carcass lean deposition
