Key Functions
Efficient Methyl Donor:
- Replaces methionine and choline to provide methyl groups for synthesizing critical biomolecules (e.g., proteins, nucleic acids).
Enhances Lipid Metabolism:
- Boosts carnitine and phosphatidylcholine efficiency, reduces fatty liver incidence, improves lean meat percentage, and enhances meat color.
Reduces Stress & Improves Gut Health:
- Lowers stress response, increases duodenal villi length, enhances digestive enzyme activity, and promotes feed intake.
Aquaculture Benefits:
- Stimulates appetite, improves survival rates, and supports crustaceans during molting or environmental changes.
Rumen Function:
- Provides methyl groups and osmotic regulation for rumen microbes, increasing acetate production and improving energy/protein utilization.
