That has been demonstrated in a series of trials with Betafin. On average, Betafin, extracted from sugar beet and higly purified, improved lean meat percentage in pigs by 1.5%.

 

In addition, betaine's beneficial effects on gut structure aid nutrient digestion and absorption, contributing to improved, more consistent performance in pigs whilst offering potential benefits to processors by improving gut strength.

 

Worldwide trials conducted also demonstrated that the addition of the company's Porzyme® enzyme products to pig diets improves the uniformity of growth and the lean meat percentage by releasing more nutrients from the feed.

 

On average, Porzyme reduced variability in final liveweight in piglets by 31% and in grower or finisher pigs by 27%. A series of nine trials showed that Porzyme increased lean meat percentage by an average of 1.5%, helping pigs to get closer to their full genetic potential and at the same time improving producer profitability.
