Choline chloride

Polifar Choline Chloride For Feed Additive

Choline chloride is an organic substance with the chemical formula C5H14ClNO, white hygroscopic crystals, odorless and fishy odor. Melting point 305 ℃. 10% aqueous solution pH5-6, unstable in lye. This product is easily soluble in water and ethanol, but insoluble in ether, petroleum ether, benzene, and carbon disulfide. For the treatment of fatty liver and cirrhosis. It is also used as a livestock feed additive, which can stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs and increase the weight of livestock and fish. In addition, it is a highly effective nutritional supplement and fat-removing agent in food.

Why Use Choline Chloride

Choline chloride is used as a feed additive to stimulate the ovaries of animals to produce more eggs, improve farrowing rates, and increase the weight of livestock and fish. If there is not enough choline in animal feed, animals will develop choline deficiency. The following problems will occur:
 

Poultry

Slow growth, reduced egg production, reduced size, and reduced hatchability of eggs. Fat accumulation in the liver and kidney, hepatic steatosis, tendinopathy, behavioral disorders, muscular dystrophy.

Swine

Slow growth, behavioral disturbances, neurological disorders, muscular dystrophy, poor fertility, excess fat storage in the liver.
 
 

Cattle

Breathing disturbances, behavioral disturbances, loss of appetite, slowed growth.
 
 
 

Fish

Slow growth, fatty liver, poor feeding efficiency, renal and intestinal bleeding.

Structure & Storage Of Choline Chloride

The storage temperature of choline chloride solution should not be lower than -12℃ to avoid blocking the pipeline after crystallization.
Choline chloride powder should be stored in silos with dehumidification equipment to prevent the product from absorbing moisture. Choline chloride powder absorbs moisture and can cause the product to become wet and clumpy, leading to catheter blockage. Plant carrier-type choline chloride powder may be fermented after long-term moisture absorption.
 

Manufacturing Process Of Choline Chloride

Ethylene oxide method

It is derived from the reaction between trimethylamine and ethylene oxide.
The trimethylamine ethanol solution was added to the reaction pot, and ethylene oxide was introduced into it at about 30°C, and the reaction was stirred for 4 hours, and then neutralized with hydrochloric acid (controlling pH 6.5-7.0). The crude product yield can reach 98%. After decolorization with activated carbon and vacuum concentration, a 70% aqueous solution can be obtained. Add corncob flour, rice husk flour, bran or diatomaceous earth, and other excipients to the aqueous solution to obtain 50% powder.

Chloroethanol method

Substitute ethylene oxide and hydrochloric acid with chloroethanol, and react with trimethylamine under the catalysis of a small amount of ethylene oxide or an alkaline substance: first add 100 parts of chloroethanol to the reaction kettle, add 130 parts of trimethylamine from the liquid surface, Simultaneously, 1.7 parts of ethylene oxide was introduced to initiate the reaction. After adding, it was kept at 32-38°C and stirred for 4h, the yield was 84% (calculated in chloroethanol). If catalyzed by alkaline substances (such as quaternary ammonium salts), the single-pass conversion rate can reach more than 97%.

What is the effect of l lysine hydrochloride in low protein feed?
August 07, 2021

The serious shortage of protein feed resources has always been a bottleneck problem that plagues balanced development of my country's feed industry, and the rapid adjustment in the breeding mode has also put forward new requirements for feed additives. L lysine hydrochloride crystal has become the preferred feed additive for many livestock in this situation, which can reduce nitrogen emissions and improve protein utilization.

What Is The Effect of Adding L-threonine To The Feed?
August 04, 2021

The use of feed grade L-Threonine makes livestock more productive, and in turn, high-yielding livestock puts forward higher restrictions on the formulators, requiring formulators to match balanced feed additives and provide nutrients that meet the needs to support the high yield of dairy cows. The effect of L-Threonine crystal determines its charm, but it is not a simple matter to maximize its use efficiency.

What Are The Benefits And Side Effects of L-threonine?
June 23, 2021

Everything has two sides, so as the feed additives. The preparation process of L-Threonine has been refined, so that its production cost has been rapidly reduced, so the price has also fallen. However, this also caused some farmers to misunderstand L-Threonine crystal. What are advantages of feed grade L-Threonine? Under what circumstances it will produce negative effects? How to use it correctly? All these problems are all concerned by farmers.

Is L-threonine A Restrictive Amino Acid?
June 21, 2021

Feed grade L-Threonine is often packed in common woven bags and placed in piles. Although it seems to us that livestock require little amount of L-Threonine, it is essential in reality. Because the synthetic amount of L-Threonine in livestock is not enough to meet their daily consumption, farmers need to choose appropriate method and amount according to the type and growth cycle of the livestock, preventing it from becoming a reason for restricting the growth of livestock.
