Introduction and Objectives
Betaine (BET) acts as a methyl donor to convert homocysteine into methionine (MET), sparing both choline (CHOL) and MET. In the last years, synthetic MET and CHOL became a key concern in feed formulation as their prices have increased and hence BET can be an economic alternative. Objective: to test the bio-equivalency of 4 commercial BET products (3 anhydrous and one ...
