Effects of rumen-protected betaine supplementation on meat quality and the composition of fatty and amino acids in growing lambs

Rumen-protected betaine (RPB) can enhance betaine absorption in the small intestine of ruminants, while betaine can alter fat distribution and has the potential to affect the meat quality of livestock.
