Betaine has been used for many fields in feeds. It basically has two important metabolic functions, it can serve as a methyl donor and it helps in maintaining cellular osmolarity. Betaine can be used as an alternative donor of methyl groups for choline and methionine. Both betaine and choline can be used to replace part of the methionine in feeds that is used for methyl donation.
