Function:
The following are the functions of betaine hydrochloride for veterinary use:
- Promoting fat metabolism: It can regulate the fat metabolism in animals, reduce the deposition of fat in the liver and muscles, and increase the lean meat percentage. At the same time, it can enhance the transportation and utilization of fat, and reduce the occurrence of fat metabolism diseases such as fatty liver.
- Improving the palatability of feed: Betaine hydrochloride has a sweet and umami taste, which can improve the flavor of the feed and increase the feed intake of animals. It has a particularly obvious effect on young animals and those with poor appetite, helping to ensure that animals ingest sufficient nutrients.
- Enhancing the stress resistance: When animals are under stress, such as high temperature, cold, transportation, etc., betaine hydrochloride can help maintain the osmotic pressure balance of cells, stabilize the structure and function of the cell membrane, reduce the damage of stress to the animal body, and improve the stress resistance and survival rate of animals.
- Improving reproductive performance: For breeding livestock, it can regulate the endocrine system, promote the secretion of reproductive hormones, and improve the sperm motility of male breeding livestock, as well as the number of ova discharged, conception rate, and litter size of female breeding livestock.
