An experiment was conducted to establish the growth response, egg quality, semen quality, hematological attributes, fertility and hatchability in broiler breeders supplemented with graded levels of betaine. The broiler breeders (CARIBRO-VISHAL) of about 38 weeks divided into four treatments viz. T1 (basal diet), T2 (T1 + 1 g), T3 (T1 + 2 g) and T4 (T1 + 3 g betaine/kg) consisting of 24 female birds and 6 male birds per treatment with three replicates of 8 female and 2 male birds each in completely randomized design. Hen day egg production (HDEP) was significantly increased in betaine supplemented groups. Semen concentration was found to be significantly improved following betaine supplementation with highest increment in T4 group. Mass motility in T3 group during 4th week of experimental trial was found to be significantly increased. In female birds, a significant difference in RBC count, PCV, MCH and MCHC was observed among the treatments during 2nd week of trial. Fertility and hatchability (TES: total eggs set; FES: fertile eggs set) was increased in betaine supplemented groups with highest increment in T4 treatment group. Total embryonic mortality was lowest for T4 treatment group. Thus, it can be concluded that dietary supplementation of betaine at 3 g/kg was helpful in improving the reproductive performance in broiler breeders.
