Thereby the sugar content is reduced from approx. 60 % to 2 % and the betaine content is increased from 5 % to 40 %.\nThe product is used solely as an animal feed premix facilitating digestion and maintaining intestinal stability.\nThe product is packed in 1 000 kg containers or imported in bulk.",
