Choline Chloridehas essential functions in the body of human being and animals. It is generally classified as a Vitamin of Bcomplex.Choline occurs in manmade in the form of choline chloride, It is used by most animals as a precursor of acetyl choline, which influences the transmission of impulses from nerves to muscles.It is also used as a source of methyl groups.In feed, the content of natural choline chloride limited. It can not satisfy complete demand for the animal growing.Therefore, choline is widely used as feed additive at home and abroad. It will stimulate the animal or poultry`s growth, put on their weight rapidly and boost up the body`s immunity function.It has prominence effects on improving the quality and quantity of eggs and meat. On the contrary, shortage of choline may cause liver diseases, retarded growth,perosis,reduced egg laying rate and increased mortality.

Function of choline chloride

(1) To prevent the accumulation of fat in livers and kidneys and avoid its pathollgical changes.
(2) To enhance the health of animals and to improve its ability toanti-illness.
(3) To increase the growth rate and laying rate of fowls and to increase the survival rate of baby pig.
(4) To increase the growth and survival rate of fishes and promote its propagation.
(5) To ensure the proper functioning of the nervous system of animals.

Application of choline chloride

(1)Choline chloride is mass-produced and is an important additive in feed especially for chickens where it accelerates growth.

(2)With urea it forms a deep eutectic solvent.

(3)Other commercial choline salts are choline hydroxide and choline bitartrate.

(4)In foodstuffs the compound is often present as phosphatidylcholine.

(5)It is also used as an additive in fluids used for hydraulic fracturing.
