Product Introduction

White crystal or crystalline powder, hygroscopic, easily soluble in water and alcohol; generally its carriers are corn cob, etc.

And it is classified into corn cob, silica according to carrier.

Choline (commonly in the form of Choline chloride) is one of the B categories of vitamin. It is acetylcholine in the biological organization. It is the components of lecithin and nerve acid fat. It is used by most animals as a precursor of acetyl choline, which influences the transmission of impulses from nerves to muscles.

Usage

Choline chloride is one kind of Vitamins,it is the essential component of lecithin.And it is very important for the nutrition and growth of the animals.Because young animals cannot synthesize Choline Chloride itself,so their required Choline should be taken from feedstuff.

The main functions of the choline chloride are as follows:

To prevent the accumulation of fat in livers and kidneys and avoid its pathological changes .
To increase the growth rate and laying rate of fowls and increase the survive rate of baby pig.
To enhance the health of animals and to improve its ability to anti-illness.
To increase the growth and survival rate of fishes and promote its propagation.
To ensure the proper functioning of the nervous system of animals.
