Betaine Hydrochloride (Betaine HCl, CAS: 590-46-5) is an efficient methyl donor feed additive. It appears as white crystalline powder, freely soluble in water. The molecular formula is \(\boldsymbol{C_5H_{11}NO_2·HCl}\), molecular weight 153.61. The standard purity is 98% min, with 95% / 96% grades available upon request.

It serves as a cost-effective nutritional additive widely applied in swine, poultry and aquafeed. It can partially replace methionine and choline chloride to reduce feed formulation cost.

Key Benefits

✅ Methyl Donor: Provides methyl groups for animal metabolism, saves expensive methionine and choline chloride. ✅ Fat Metabolism & Carcass Quality: Reduces back fat in pigs and abdominal fat in poultry; improves lean meat rate and feed conversion ratio. ✅ Powerful Attractant for Aquaculture: Stimulates feeding of fish and shrimp, increases feed intake and survival rate. ✅ Anti-stress & Osmoprotection: Protects animal cells under heat, salinity and transport stress; stabilizes intestinal health and lowers diarrhea risk. ✅ High Stability & Good Dispersion: Consistent quality, easy to mix into feed premix.
