Description
Choline Chloride
Choline chloride is used as an important feed additive in animal species, especially chickens. Choline- chemically known as 2-hydroxyethyl-trimethyl ammonium hydroxide and is referred to as vitamin B4.

It has recently been claimed as a rediscovered vitamin & performance promoter in poultry.
The role of choline in the prevention of conditions such as perosis and liver enlargement in chicks is already well known.
The main function of choline is to act as a lipotropic agent and prevents the abnormal fatty infiltration in the liver (Fatty Liver Syndrome) thus ensures proper metabolism of the body & effective utilization of the nutrients.
The young chicken needs choline more due to the inability to synthesize at a sufficient rate. Females are less susceptible to choline deficiency, without an exact clear mechanism. Egg contains 12-13 mg choline per gram dried whole egg mass.

 
Roles of choline chloride in poultry

Prevention of abnormal fat accumulation (fatty liver)
Prevention of perosis/chondrodystrophy which is an anatomic deformation of leg bones in young chickens, turkey poults, and pheasant poults etc.
Enhancing maximum egg production
Choline is a metabolic essential for building and maintaining cell structure
Choline is essential for the synthesis of acetylcholine by mitochondria at the presynaptic terminal of the neural synapse, a substance that makes possible the transmission of nerve impulses.
