As a byproduct of sugar beet processing, betaine is commercially available as a feed additive. Due to its methyl donor and its amino acid function, betaine is involved in protein and energy metabolism. In animal nutrition, betaine is widely discussed as a ‘carcass modifier’ for its lipotropic and growth-promoting effects.
Betaine from Fenchem is natural, which is a byproduct of sugar beet production. Natural betaine acts as an osmolyte, improving intestinal health and reducing the negative impact of heat-stress on animal production. It has been demonstrated that natural betaine has superior value compared to synthetic alternatives.
Natural betaine represents a key product in support of Fenchem’s strategy to provide innovative, healthy nutrition solutions to the animal feed industry. The company mainly provides Betaine Anhydrous 96%, Betaine Anhydrous 98%, Betaine Hydrochloride 95% and Betaine Hydrochloride 97%.
