Choline chloride is a well-known and globally accepted additive for feed, which is usually classified as a B-complex vitamin.
Choline plays a vital role in a number of fundamental processes in the body. It’s indispensable for the bio-synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, and is a basic component of cell memberane and precursor of neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
Choline usually comes in the form of choline chloride, which is the best form of choline salts.
Why there is a need of exogenous supplementation of choline in Feed?
since there is no consistency in the choline content in the natural feedstuffs and also their bioavailability is not predictable. However, it may be expected that variation in content of choline will occur due to variation in prevailing crop growth conditions, e. g. climate, cultivar, soil, location, fertilizer and spray regime etc.
