Introduction:
Beetroot, commonly known as beets, is a root vegetable that belongs to the Chenopodiaceae family. Beetroot has versatile uses, serving as a vegetable, a source of sugar, and a feeding material. It plays a crucial role in the feed industry, where betaine acts as a significant methyl donor to enhance animal metabolism.
