What is the primary impact of dietary betaine supplementation on triglyceride content in laying hens?

Label:chem

Topic
Triglycerides are a type of lipid, and their accumulation in the liver is a key characteristic of Fatty Liver Syndrome (FLS) in laying hens, which can lead to significant economic losses in the poultry industry. The study investigates how dietary betaine affects plasma and hepatic TGs levels.
Answer
Dietary betaine supplementation significantly decreased hepatic TGs content by 35% in laying hens, although it did not significantly affect TGs content in plasma.
