EFFICACY OF ORBIT CHOLINE AS A REPLACEMENT OF SYNTHETIC CHOLINE CHLORIDE IN DIETS ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF BROILERS

Arvind Sharma* and Meenakshi Sharma

ABSTRACT

Choline is an essential nutrient for poultry. Choline is present in the feed ingredients as well as synthesized in the body of the broilers. But, this may not be sufficient to meet their requirements for physiological functions and optimum performance. This needs the exogenous supplementation of Choline in diet. This can be done through synthetic Choline chloride or through Choline present in natural herbs (Orbit-Choline). Hence, all efforts should be made to enhance the utilization of dietary energy for productive body functions.
