Sulfobetaine

Modern people are using more and more various chemical products in modern life. It can be said that modern society should be regarded as an industrialized society. Therefore, for modern people, when using various chemical products, they must first understand the relevant common sense before they can use them better. Among them, betaine sulfoxide is often used in aquatic feed.

Betaine sulfosulfate is widely used in aquatic feed. For modern people, when using betaine sulfosulfate, the most important thing is to understand its relevant common sense and usage methods, so as to avoid unnecessary problems in daily aquatic feeding and make betaine sulfosulfate play a greater role.

The mechanism of action of betaine (DMT) is similar to that of dimethyl-β-propionate thiothionine (DMPT):

3.1 Appetite attractant

Dithiobetaine (DMT) can detect the stimulation of low concentrations of chemicals in water through the sense of smell of aquatic animals. It can distinguish chemicals very sensitively. The wrinkles in the olfactory tube can increase the contact area with the external water environment to improve the sensitivity of the sense of smell. Therefore, fish, shrimps, and crabs have a strong physiological mechanism to attract food due to the special smell of DMT. DMT follows this unique habit of aquatic animals to increase the feeding frequency of aquatic animals. As a feeding attractant and growth promoter for aquatic animals, it has a significant promoting effect on the feeding behavior and growth of a variety of marine and freshwater fish, shrimps and crabs. It increases the number of times aquatic animals bite bait, and its feeding stimulation effect is several times that of glutamine.

3.2 Efficient methyl donor, growth promotion

The (CH3)2S- group on the dimethylthiothreitol (DMT) molecule has a methyl donor function and is effectively utilized by aquatic animals to promote the secretion of digestive enzymes in the animal body, promote the digestion of fish and the absorption of nutrients, and improve feed utilization.

3.3 Improve anti-stress ability and anti-osmotic pressure effect

It can improve the athletic ability and stress resistance (high temperature and hypoxia resistance) of aquatic animals, improve the adaptability and survival rate of young fish, and can be used as an osmotic pressure buffer in the body to improve the tolerance of aquatic animals to osmotic pressure changes.

3.4 Has similar effects to ecdysone

It has strong deshelling activity, which increases the deshelling speed of shrimps and crabs, especially in the middle and late stages of shrimp and crab farming, the effect is more obvious.

3.5 Has liver protection function

Dimethylthiocarbamate (DMT) has a liver-protecting function. It can not only improve the health of animals, reduce the ratio of viscera to body weight, but also improve the edibility of aquatic animals.

Therefore, for those who are engaged in aquatic feeding, it is important to understand the relevant common knowledge about betaine sulfoacid. The purpose of doing so is to better use this product to feed aquatic products, so that they can have high yields, and naturally create more economic benefits. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the use and dosage of betaine sulfoacid to avoid unnecessary problems.
