Betaine Hydrochloride

Appearance: White granule powder
Testing unit: Tianjin Huge Roc Enterprises Co., Ltd.
Packing: 25 kg per bag, HMHPE laminated paper bag with HDPE liner
Container load: 20 MT per 20ft container

Betaine Hydrochloride is a white granule powder supplied at 98.5% min assay, reported 98.62% on the lot shown, tested by Tianjin Huge Roc Enterprises Co., Ltd. It works as a methyl supplier, partially replacing methionine and choline chloride in the ration, and it adjusts cell osmotic pressure to reduce stress response. In aquaculture it has a second role as a phagostimulant, improving feeding quantity and survival rate in marine species.

Lot conclusion reported as up to the standard, tested by Tianjin Huge Roc Enterprises Co., Ltd.
TDS and MSDS issued with the order, sample COA on request

Where it is used

Methyl donor in feed, partially replacing methionine and choline chloride
Protein and nucleic acid synthesis and metabolism support
Fat metabolism improvement to increase the meat factor and improve immune function
Osmotic pressure regulation to reduce stress response
Phagostimulant in marine and aquaculture feed
Protection of intestinal epithelial cells to improve resistance to coccidiosis

Who buys it

Aquafeed producers targeting feed intake and survival rate
Poultry and swine nutritionists managing methyl donor cost
Premix manufacturers
Producers managing heat and transport stress

Problems it solves

Methionine and choline chloride cost dominating the methyl donor budget
Low feed intake in marine species where palatability is limiting
Stress response from osmotic imbalance cutting growth
Coccidiosis pressure weakening the intestinal epithelium

Packing and options

25 kg per bag in HMHPE laminated paper bag with HDPE liner, 20 MT per 20ft container
Dose rate advised against species and existing methyl donor sources

How it compares

Betaine anhydrous carries more betaine per kilo and adds no chloride, which suits premix equipment and tight electrolyte balances. Betaine hydrochloride is the lower-cost methyl donor and is the one to choose where the chloride is acceptable and where the phagostimulant effect in marine feed is the objective.

Handling and storage

Recalculate the methionine and choline chloride inclusion when betaine HCl is added as a partial replacement
Allow for the chloride contribution in the dietary electrolyte balance
Store dry and sealed in the laminated bag until use

FAQ

Betaine Hydrochloride questions buyers ask

What assay do you supply

98.5% min betaine HCl, with a reported result of 98.62% on the lot shown.

Can it replace methionine and choline chloride

It can be used as a methyl supplier to provide methyl efficiently and partially replace methionine and choline chloride.

Why is it used in aquaculture

It is a good phagostimulant for marine species, improving feeding quantities, survival rate and growth.

How is it packed

25 kg per bag in an HMHPE laminated paper bag with an HDPE liner, loading 20 MT per 20ft container.

What are the microbiological limits

E. coli 10 CFU/g max and Salmonella absent in 25 g.

How does it compare with betaine anhydrous

Betaine anhydrous has higher purity and no chloride residue; the hydrochloride is lower cost and is widely used where the chloride contribution is acceptable.

Does it help against coccidiosis

It protects the epithelial cells of the intestinal tract, which improves resistance to coccidiosis.
