ADVERTORIAL FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE March 2025 73 “A healthy gut is a barrier that prevents toxins and pathogens from entering the body. BetaTrace® promotes gut integrity and intestinal barrier function through the regeneration of damaged gut cells and the maintenance of the proteins that hold intestinal cells together. BetaTrace® helps maintain normal intestinal cell function during challenges like coccidia infections or diarrhea.” BETATRACE®: BETAINE GOES METAL! The essential nature of trace minerals in the diet is well known and that this need increases with production or stress is also well described. Trace minerals are divided between inorganic and organic forms. While inorganic trace minerals are readily available and inexpensive, organic trace minerals reign supreme in absorption, effectiveness, and overall benefits. Typically, organic trace minerals are complexed with small peptides or amino acids to enhance their uptake. Now, there’s a new player in town: introducing BetaTrace®, a unique, patent-pending organic trace mineral source where the mineral is bound to betaine—a functional binding partner. Due to its high degree of complexation, BetaTrace® offers significantly improved absorption compared to conventional inorganic sources such as sulfates, resulting in improved performance and reduced heavy metal excretion, coupled with the added value of betaine. A NEW PLAYER IN TOWN Why betaine? Betaine is an amazing ingredient that provides excellent methyl group donor capability, which is essential for protein and lipid metabolism. Both high-yielding and young animals have particularly high requirements here, and BetaTrace® is the perfect solution! This incredible 2-in-1 invention supports performance and health even more intensively, making it a must-have for any animal nutrition program. By Biochem
