Molecular weight: 139.62
EINECS No.: 200-655-4
As a feed additive, choline chloride has the following physiological functions: it can prevent fat accumulation and tissue degeneration in liver and kidney; It can promote the recombination of amino acids; It can improve the utilization of amino acids, especially the essential amino acid methionine in the body. In Japan, 98% of choline chloride is used as feed additive for chickens, pigs, beef cattle, fish and shrimp. Most of them are processed into powder. The preparation method of 50% powder is to add excipients with appropriate particle size in the mixer in advance, and then drop choline chloride aqueous solution, mix and dry. Some commercial powders are also combined with vitamins, minerals, drugs, etc. Choline chloride is a vitamin B drug, which is used for hepatitis, liver function degradation, early liver cirrhosis, pernicious anemia and other diseases.
