Betaine, as a feed additive, mainly comes in five types: anhydrous betaine, monohydrate betaine, betaine hydrochloride, compound betaine, and microencapsulated/coated betaine. Its structure is stable, although different types exhibit slight differences in appearance. It is readily soluble in water, soluble in methanol/ethanol, and sparingly soluble in ether and chloroform. It is natural, non-toxic, residue-free, and non-teratogenic/carcinogenic, enabling green farming. Due to its advantages such as methyl donor, osmotic pressure regulation, growth promotion, stress resistance, carcass improvement, appetite enhancement, vitamin stabilization in feed, and auxiliary anti-coccidiosis, it is widely used in pig, poultry, aquaculture, and ruminant farming. - Polifar

Methionine is one of the most essential amino acids in feed additives. When Polifar Group received numerous inquiries from farmers, they found that DL-methionine and rumen-protected methionine were the most frequently asked questions. However, there are many types of methionine suitable for different animals, totaling five types: DL-methionine, L-methionine, rumen-protected methionine, hydroxymethionine analogues (MHA), and calcium hydroxymethionine (MHA-Ca). Each of these five types of methionine is tailored to different animals, farming scenarios, and cost requirements. Choosing the most suitable product can double farming efficiency, while choosing the wrong one can lead to wasted costs and reduced profitability. - Polifar

Methionine, as the first limiting amino acid in feed additives, is of great importance to farmers. Currently, the global economic stagnation and rising prices of some raw materials have led to a shortage of methionine, causing its price to rise. This is especially true for large-scale, standardized farms, where the demand for methionine is even higher. To avoid waste and efficiently utilize feed-grade methionine, it is essential to choose higher-quality methionine suppliers. This article will focus on the scientific use of methionine in feed, its differentiated value, market functions, and future development trends, ensuring everyone understands the scientific application and market value of methionine in feed. - Polifar

Zinc sulfate monohydrate, with its high zinc content (≥35.5%), high water solubility, and 100% bioavailability (reference standard), has become the preferred zinc supplement for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture. It participates in the activity of over 300 enzymes, promoting growth, strengthening immunity, protecting coat and fur, and improving reproductive performance. It also possesses astringent and bactericidal effects, controlling various livestock diseases, and its potency (zinc oxide is only 50%~80% of zinc sulfate) is superior. Precise addition can correct zinc deficiency, optimize the metabolism of low-protein diets, and achieve increased farming efficiency and cost control. - Polifar
