Both methionine and choline are essential nutrients for poultry. Betaine is a new type of feed additive discovered and successfully developed in recent years. As the main methyl donors of animal body, these three are closely related in metabolism and function. With the wide application of
betaine in poultry diets, the metabolic and functional relationship between betaine, methionine and choline has become one of the focuses of poultry nutrition research.
The biochemical reactions involved in the metabolic process of various substances in animals are not isolated, but interdependent and mutually restrictive. to maintain normal metabolism. As an essential group for many metabolic reactions, methyl groups must be provided by specific methyl donors (betaine, methionine, choline, etc.). The metabolic relationship between betaine, methionine and choline is reflected in the cyclic reaction of transferring methyl groups through these three. Choline must be transferred to the mitochondria of cells and converted to betaine before it can obtain the ability to provide methyl groups; methionine must also be converted into betaine. Activation to S-adenosylmethionine can be used as a methyl donor; betaine can directly provide methyl for metabolism, so the three have different efficiencies in methylation reaction and providing methyl.
The conversion efficiency of choline to betaine is affected by many factors. At the same time, the fermentation speed of starch is increased, the simultaneous release of energy nitrogen is maintained, and the synthesis efficiency of cell protein (MCP) is improved.
