- Composition
Natural betaine (important provitamin) concentrate derived from sugar beet molasses.
Features & Benefits
- Animal Feed & Nutrition Features
- Added Values
- Very efficient methyl group donor, can replace choline chloride.
- Osmoprotectant both at the level of the gut and at intracellular level: improves the utilization of water, feed, additives and other nutrients.
- Anti-stress factor, increases the resistance of the gut against various stress factors e.g. drought, heat and certains pathogens (Coccidiosis).
- Protects the liver from fattening and regulates the fat and energy metabolism: less fat deposition, more lean meat in fattening pigs and more breast meat in broilers.
- Source of glycine
- Spares methionine if shortage of methyl-donating capacity in the feed.

- Application
Used for pigs and poultry:
- In the feed
- Directly through the drinking water
Betaine has in the sugar beet an osmoregulatory (= water pressure regulating) function. Thanks to betaine the sugar beet can store large amounts of sugar without bursting.
- Recommended Dosage
- Jodobet® in the feed (88% DM) of pigs and poultry.
- The recommended betaine dosage is between 200 – 2000 ppm, depending on the target group and the situation.
