“…The results of this experiment are in agreement with those of Lakhani et al (2020) (Loest et al 2002). The reason for this difference in performance could be related to the complete degradation of supplemental BET by the rumen microbes in later study restricting the availability of methyl group for the animal (Loest et al 2002;Nezamidoust et al 2012).…”

This study aimed to determine the effect of betaine supplementation on production performance and blood biochemical parameters in calves. Sixty Nili-Ravi calves were randomly divided into four groups: the control group, which received a total mixed ration (TMR) without betaine and three experimental groups that received TMR blended with 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6% betaine for 8 weeks. Feed and water intake was recorded daily and production performance parameters were recorded on weekly basis. Blood samples were collected weekly and at the end of the experiment. The results showed that feeding betaine to calves increased dry matter intake, body weight gain and average daily gain (P < 0.001). Dietary addition of 0.6% betaine improved feed conversion ratio (P < 0.01). Plasma cortisol, superoxide dismutase, and malondialdehyde levels were positively affected (P < 0.05) by betaine supplementation as compared to the control group; however, it caused HSP70 levels to decrease (P < 0.05). The results indicated that supplementing betaine to the diet of Nili-Ravi calves enhanced growth performance and improved their antioxidant status. © 2021 Friends Science Publishers

“…Apart from being a methyl group donor, betaine is also an osmolyte that improves the Na + /K + pump function and cell volume, thereby maintaining the osmotic balance. Also, betaine is an amphoteric molecule (Lakhani et al, 2020). It improves the water‐retention capacity of intestinal and muscle tissues and supports the ion‐pump function of intestinal cells during dehydration, thereby reducing energy consumption and making it available for production.…”

Betaine, the trimethyl derivative of glycine, is a good methyl group donor, and an important component in pig production. However, betaine has not been extensively studied in this field. Therefore, in this study, we reviewed the effects of betaine in pig production performance, meat quality and reproductive performance, as well as its mechanisms, to provide a theoretical basis for the optimal use and development of this compound.

“…Betaine is a modified amino acid consisting of glycine with three methyl groups that serves as a methyl donor in several metabolic pathways (NCBI, 2021). Betaine, also known trimethyl glycine is a recent compound and has been found to alleviate thermal stress in cows (Raheja et al,2018;Lakhani et al, 2020;Shah et al, 2020), buffalo (Sachin et al, 2019;Shankhpal et al, 2019), goat (Fernandez et al, 2009Dangi et al, 2016), sheep (DiGiacomo et al, 2016Cai et al, 2021), andrabbit (Elsawy et al, 2017). Furthermore, betaine serves as a good antioxidant and found to be implecated in handicap of oxidative stress produced during several stress conditions (Alirezaei et al, 2014: Wen et al, 2020.…”

This study aimed to investigate the effects of betaine supplementation on some hematological and physiological parameters of Aberdeen Angus cows. Twelve cows were divided randomly into two equal groups (6 cows each) and each group was treated for 150 successive days. All experimental animals were fed 60% of their requirements as a concentrate mixture and the rest of other requirements was covered from wheat strew adlibitum. In addition to basal diet, animals in experimental group were supplemented with 30 g betaine hydrochloride per day. Air temperature and relative humidity were recorded during the experimental days to calculate the current temperature-humidity index (THI). Blood samples were collected during experimental period from jugular vein. Rectal temperature (RT), pulse rate (PR), respiration rate (RR), skin temperature (ST) and hair temperature (HT) were recorded during the experimental days. The obtained results showed that the average values of THI were between 71.6 to 74.78 at 08:00 am and 77.09 to 83.01 at 02:00 pm during the experimental period which indicates exposure of animals to heat stress. There were no significant differences among groups in WBC, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC and PLT. Moreover, RBC and HGB was higher (P < 0.05) in betaine group than control. adding betaine had no significant decrease in RR, ST, HT, and ET. While significant decrease in RT and PR was observed at 02:00 pm of experimental animal. It is concluded that betaine may be improved some hematological parameters and thermoregulatory responses of Aberdeen Angus cows under New Valley arid areas.
