As broiler production is characterized by a very short life cycle. the aim of study to know the effect of dietary supplementation of betaine hydrochloride (betaine HCl) on nutrient utilization in broiler chicken for six weeks. One hundred – and – ninety two, day-old commercial (Vencobb 400) broiler chicks were allotted to four groups, with four replications of 12 chicks each, randomly. The four groups were allotted in to four dietary regimes and each replicate was randomly assigned to one of the four dietary treatments in this study. The experimental feed was formulated according to BIS (1992) specifications and the control ration - T1 (without betaine) and feed grade betaine HCl at 250, 500, 750 ppm was added respectively to form different rations T2, T3 and T4 groups. The result proven availability of crude protein, had significant difference (P< 0.01) among dietary supplementation of betaine HCl treatments but availability of other nutrients, minerals and nitrogen balance didnot show any significant difference (P>0.05). This is to conclude that apparent nutrient digestibility of crude protein was higher for ration with betaine HCl at 750 ppm.
