Uses:
(1) Choline is especially important to fowls. The amino acids and the lecithinum, composed of choline, are transferred to the tissues of fowls to prevent fat from accumulating on liver and kidney, and to speed up fowl's growth and hatchability and laying rate. Choline cannot be synthetized in the bodies of young animals in which the choline needed is gained completely from the feed. Therefore, choline must be added to the feed for young animals.
(2) Experiments show that lack of choline affects the growth of a grass carp greatly in the way of lowering the content of phospholipid, cholesterol, triglyceride and blood fat in the body of a grass carp.
(3) Lack of choline in feed for domestic animals such as marten, pig, rabbit, cattle, etc. Can cause them maldeveloped with soft bones, rough fur, low growth rate and high morbidity. Choline chloride, therefore, must be added to the feed for domestic animals to ensure the sound growth of them.
Packing and Storage:
The product is in two packages, namely, 25kg per bag in a braided bag or paper bag compounded with film and lining, 0.5kg per bag in a bag compounded with film. Choline chloride is susceptible to moisture, so it must be sealed and kept in a dry and cold place.
