The scientific name of beet alkalization is trimethylglycine, which is a seasonal ammonia alkaloid with the molecular formula C5H12NO2 and the molecular weight 117.5. The molecular structure has two characteristics: first, the charge distribution in the molecule is neutral;  Two, it has three active methyl groups.  Its appearance is liquid, light brown crystalline powder, sweet taste, easy to absorb moisture, soluble in water and alcohol, aqueous solution is neutral, melting point 293℃, can withstand high temperature below 200℃, with strong oxidation resistance. In addition, betaine is moisturizing.

Betaine has a certain anti-fat effect, dietary betaine can reduce fat and increase protein content  in growing chickens.  Betaine can offer methyl amino methyl ethanol and generate choline, choline esters in metabolism plays an important role, which promote the formation of fatty acid oxidation and phospholipids, speed up the operation of esters, betaine synthesis of phospholipids, by promoting the body on the one hand, reduce the activity of lipase in the liver, on the other hand, have promote the synthesis of apolipoprotein in the liver.Among them, very low density lipoprotein is the main carrier protein used to carry endogenous triglycerides, which promotes the migration of  fat in the liver, thus reducing the content of triglycerides in the liver.  

Betaine has obvious sedative effect, enhancing the hypnotic effect of barbiturate,anti-injurious stimulation and antipyretic effect.  Chicken body is easily infected with coccidiasis and affects intestinal ion balance. Although anti-coccidiasis drugs can kill parasites by changing the ion concentration of parasite cells, they also affect host cells, especially intestinal ion concentration, thus affecting the normal intestinal function.  Betaine provides methyl as osmotic protective agent, which can maintain normal osmotic pressure of animal cells, prevent dehydration caused by water loss in cells, and stabilize intestinal ion balance. Thus improving the resistance of the chicken body.
