Abstract

Betaine, is a trimetyl derivative of glycine and has methyl donor properties for remethylation of homocystine to methionine. In this experiment was studied the efficacy of providing betaine on productive performance, hematology, egg quality, cholesterol and fatty acid profile in yolk. A total three hundred laying hen (Hisex Brown® at 20 week of age were randomly assigned to completely randomized design including of 3 treatments with 5 replications (n=20). Dietary treatment included the corn-soybean meal base diet (without betaine supplementation), and basal diet supplemented with 2 kg/ton diet from betaine hydrochloride and betaine anhydrous. The results showed that dietary supplementation of betaine hydrochloride and betaine anhydrous increased egg weight, albumin weight, yolk weight and protein content in yolk and whole egg (P<0.05) but was not affected the productive performance (P>0.05). Moreover, inclusion of two source of betaine into the diets reduced H/L ratio, total cholesterol and triglyceride content (P<0.05) and increased HDL and free fatty acid content in blood (P<0.05). Likewise, two sources of betaine supplementation led to increases egg yolk linolenic acid (C18:3n3), DHA and omega 3 higher than control group (P<0.05).
