Choline as Vitamin
Choline(Known officially as 2- hydroxyethyltrimethyl ammonium hydroxide), although is a natural in gredient in many foodstuffs, the concentration is usually too low to ensure proper development and optimum growth in young animals, especially poultry, pigs and calves, but also cats, dogs and other furbearing animals. The deficiency of choline may cause hepatic steatosis, ophthalmoptosis, anaemia, abdominal distention, etc. choline influences the metabolism of carotene and vitamin A in animals. It is in fact an essential component for ensuring the proper functioning of the nervous system. Choline plays a vital role in a number of different ways:
? by building and maintaining cell structures
? by forming acetylcholine for the transmission of impulses
? by preventing perosis in poultry
? by building lecithin
Apart from promoting the fat metabolism in the liver (the so-called lipotropic action), choline is also a methyl group source used for transforming honocysteine into the essential amino acid methionine
