Betafin Ruminants
- Betafin natural betaine is extracted from sustainable sugar beet molasses for use in dairy and beef cattle and sheep diets
- Produced using a proprietary chromatographic separation process
- Betaine has two important functions in animal nutrition
- 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
- Promotion of DMI in heat stress periods , and reduction in maintenance load , allows ongoing productivity in heat periods
- University trials show extra 2-4 L/day milk yield in heat conditions and 1-2 L/day milk in thermo neutral conditions.
- In beef/lamb extra weight gain achieved
- In fresh cows Betaine functions like Choline and promotes improved fresh cow performance in thermo neutral conditions
