Southeast Asian Market Background
Countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia are key bases of global aquaculture, especially for shrimp and freshwater fish. In these areas, farms commonly face challenges brought by high-density farming:
Frequent water quality fluctuations, leading to stress responses in animals
Low feed conversion efficiency, increasing cost pressures
Slow growth and higher mortality rates under high temperatures and unstable environments.
Based on its R&D experience and close cooperation with Southeast Asian clients, Healthy has found that betaine plays an important role in solving these problems.
Comparison Before and After Using Betaine
Before introducing betaine, many Southeast Asian farms mainly relied on conventional feed formulas. Animals often grew slowly under stressful conditions, with relatively high mortality rates. For example, some shrimp farms had long maintained an average survival rate of around 70%, with unsatisfactory feed efficiency.
After introducing Healthy's betaine products, the situation improved significantly:
Enhanced Metabolism
Betaine effectively promotes methyl metabolism, helping animals maintain energy balance and reduce losses caused by environmental changes.
Reduced Stress Response
Under stress from transport, water exchange, and high-density farming, betaine helps animals maintain osmotic balance, lowering stress-induced mortality.
Social security agent
In several shrimp farms, betaine improved shrimp feeding and digestion, reducing the average grow-out period by about 10%–15%.
A Vietnamese customer reported that after adding Healthy's betaine, the average survival rate in their shrimp farm increased from 70% to 85%, while the feed conversion ratio (FCR) dropped from 1.6 to 1.4-significantly boosting economic returns.
Yield and Profitability Improvements
Practical results show that the application of betaine is not just about optimizing a single stage, but about comprehensively improving farm performance:
Higher Feed Utilization
Animals use nutrients in feed more efficiently, reducing waste.
Increased Yield
Shorter farming cycles help farmers reach the market faster.
Lower Costs
Reduced mortality and feed consumption directly cut overall farming costs.
Stronger Competitiveness
Healthy and efficient farming practices help customers meet strict import standards in the global aquaculture export market.
As a company with nearly 300 employees and a strong R&D team, Healthy not only provides high-quality betaine but also offers customized OEM and ODM services to help clients develop more scientific feed formulations based on their specific farming needs. With its integration of industry, academia, and research, Healthy continuously delivers reliable technical and product support to Southeast Asia's aquaculture industry.
Aquaculture is a vital industry in Southeast Asia, and the scientific application of betaine is helping more and more farms improve profitability. Healthy (Hangzhou) Husbandry Sci-Tech Co., Ltd. will continue to leverage its advanced production facilities, international R&D team, and extensive market experience to provide high-quality feed additive solutions to clients in Southeast Asia and around the world.
