“…Furthermore, betaine has been employed as a feed additive in pig and poultry rations since it is regarded as a cheap alternative feed supplement for improving nutrient utilization [ 19 ]. Betaine is generated by choline oxidation or delivered through diet in the animal organism.…”

Betaine is a non-essential amino acid with proven functional properties and underutilized potential. The most common dietary sources of betaine are beets, spinach, and whole grains. Whole grains—such as quinoa, wheat and oat brans, brown rice, barley, etc.—are generally considered rich sources of betaine. This valuable compound has gained popularity as an ingredient in novel and functional foods due to the demonstrated health benefits that it may provide. This review study will provide an overview of the various natural sources of betaine, including different types of food products, and explore the potential of betaine as an innovative functional ingredient. It will thoroughly discuss its metabolic pathways and physiology, disease-preventing and health-promoting properties, and further highlight the extraction procedures and detection methods in different matrices. In addition, gaps in the existing scientific literature will be emphasized.

“…Silymarin, betaine, and turmeric extracts have been extensively studied because of their benefits, which have been summarized in many reviews ( Yarru et al, 2009 ; Akhavan-Salamat and Ghasemi, 2016 ; Zaker-Esteghamati et al, 2020 ; Nawab et al, 2020 ; Mishra et al, 2021 ; Abd El-Hack et al, 2021 ; Abd El-Ghany and Babazadeh, 2022 ; Alagawany et al, 2022 ; Ugo et al, 2022 ; Elnesr et al, 2023 ; Gana et al, 2023 ; Guerrini and Tedesco, 2023 ; Surai and Surai, 2023 ; Sureshbabu et al, 2023 ). Adding these active ingredients to livestock and poultry feed improves metabolism, reproduction, immunity, nutrient digestibility, fat metabolism and can alleviate chronic liver injuries and mitigate the detrimental effects of heat stress, improving overall health and favoring animal growth and development.…”

Context Commercial Pekin Ducks housed in conventional open-sided sheds often experience heat stress in summer. Electrolyte or osmolyte supplements can help birds cope under heat stress. Aims To assess the effects of water electrolyte/betaine supplementation or betaine in feed on the growth performance of Pekin ducks exposed to high ambient temperature. Methods Commercial Cherry Valley Pekin ducks were fed diets with a dietary electrolyte balance (DEB) of 160 (L-DEB) or 209 (H-DEB) over Days 15–41 (D15–41) of age. Over D36–41, ducks were provided with water alone or supplemented with betaine in the feed (BF), or betaine and an ‘in-house’ electrolyte (E) formulation at 50%, 100% or 150% (D36–41) or at 100% for only 36 h on D40–41. There were 12 treatments with four replicate pens for each treatment. On D36–41 of age, temperature was increased to 28–32°C for 9 h (from 08:30 hours to 17:30 hours) and then returned to 22–24°C for the remainder of the day. Individual liveweights were taken on D28, D35, D41. During these times, feed intake and water consumption were determined. On D41, one male and one female from each pen were weighed, euthanised and breast muscle was removed and weighed. Birds were collected for commercial processing at 04:00 hours on D42. Key results Over D15–35, the DEB had no effect on bird performance. Over D36–41, for liveweight gain (LWG) there were significant interactions between treatment × week (P < 0.001) and treatment × diet (P = 0.017). Supplements E150 and E100 + 36 h supported LWG more than did other treatments, while treatments BF, E50 and E100 supported higher LWG than in controls. On the L-DEB diet, the control birds had a LWG lower than in other treatments (P < 0.05). On the H-DEB diet, the E50 supplement had highest LWG, but comparable to that in E100 + 36 h. The supplements had no effects on breast muscle yield, weight losses during transport and lairage or processed carcass weights. Conclusions The electrolyte supplements supported higher LWG during exposure to moderately adverse high temperature. Supply for 36 h supported LWG equivalent or better than did other treatments given over 6 days. The benefits could be related to increased water intake and not just electrolyte supply. Implications Water electrolyte plus betaine supplementation supports improved Pekin duck performance during a moderately high temperature challenge.
