  • Title: [Effect of betaine hydrochloride on broiler chickens when used alone or in combination with vitamin B12].
    Author: Bogdanov M, Filipova R, Tsvetkov S.
    Journal: Vet Med Nauki; 1976; 13(6):66-71. PubMed ID: 1014365.
    Abstract:
    The studies were carried out with 2287 broilers aged from 3 to 56 days, divided when one-day-old into four equal groups. The first group were fed the common ration and served as controls. The remaining three groups were experimental, the broilers of the second group being offered the basic common ration enriched with 0.2 per cent betaine. The third group were also given the ordinary ration, however, they received in the drinking water some 10 mug vitamin BUI per one kilogram feed each. The fourth group received both betaine and vitamin B12 at the rates indicated. Results showed that betaine hydrochloride offered either alone or in combination with vitamin B12 contributes to increasing the liveweight gain of broilers in the course of the starter period, but its use in doses of 0.2 per cent in the finishing period is not effective.
