Dimethylglycine (DMG) is a naturally occurring tertiary amino acid in the intermediary metabolism of betaine in
living organisms. Dietary supplementation in broiler diets results in improved apparent faecal digestibility of the crude protein and carbohydrate fraction.This is hypothesised to result from an emulsifying effect of DMG in the intestinal tract,which allows non-fat nutrients to be more efficiently absorbed,rendering more nutrients available for utilisation
