I-Betaineyaqala ukukhishwa ku-beet kanye ne-molasses.Imnandi, ibaba kancane, incibilika emanzini kanye ne-ethanol, futhi inezici ezinamandla zokulwa ne-antioxidant.Ingahlinzeka nge-methyl yemetabolism yezinto ezibonakalayo ezilwaneni.I-Lysine ibamba iqhaza ku-metabolism yama-amino acid namaprotheni, ingakhuthaza umzimba we-fat metabolism, futhi inomphumela wokuvimbela esibindini esinamafutha.

I-Betaineisetshenziswa njengesengezo sokudla ezilwaneni.Ukondla izinkukhu ezincane nge-betaine kungathuthukisa ikhwalithi yenyama futhi kukhuphule ukuphuma kwenyama.Ucwaningo lubonise ukuthi ukwanda kwamafutha omzimba ezinyoni ezisencane eziphakelwa i-betaine kwakungaphansi kwezinyoni ezincane eziphakelwa i-methionine, futhi isivuno senyama senyuke ngo-3.7%.Ucwaningo lwathola ukuthi i-betaine exutshwe nemithi ye-ion carrier anti coccidiosis inganciphisa kakhulu ingozi yezilwane ezitheleleke nge-coccidia, bese ithuthukisa ukukhula kwazo kanye nokungazweli.Ikakhulukazi kuma-broilers nama-piglets, ukufakwa kwe-betaine ekudleni kwawo kungathuthukisa ukusebenza kwawo kwamathumbu, kuvimbele isifo sohudo, futhi kuthuthukise ukudla, okunokubaluleka okusebenzayo okuvelele.Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukungezwa kwe-betaine ekudleni kunganciphisa ukusabela kokucindezeleka kwamantshontsho engulube, bese kuthuthukisa ukudla okudliwayo kanye nezinga lokukhula kwezingulube ezilunyuliwe.

I-Betaineiyindlela enhle kakhulu eheha ukudla kwe-aquaculture, engathuthukisa ukunambitheka kokuphakelayo kokwenziwa, ikhuthazeukukhula kwezinhlanzi, ithuthukise iholo lokudla, futhi idlale indima ebalulekile ekwandiseni ukudliwa kwezinhlanzi, ukuthuthukisa izinga lokuguqulwa kokuphakelayo kanye nokunciphisa izindleko.Ngesikhathi sokugcinwa kanye nokuthuthwa kokuphakelayo, okuqukethwe kwamavithamini ngokuvamile kuyalahleka ngenxa yokuwohloka.Ukwengeza i-betaine ekudleni kungagcina ngempumelelo amandla evithamini futhi kunciphise ukulahleka kwezakhi zokudla ngesikhathi sokugcina nokuhamba.
