“…In the present study, feed conversion and productive efficiency index of the vegetable choline supplemented groups gave results similar to birds supplemented with choline chloride 600 mg kg -1 , however, these indices were higher than those of the choline chloride 800 mg kg -1 group. The data found agree with those of Calderano et al (2015) and Farina et al (2017), who found similar results on performance of broilers when evaluating the substitution of choline chloride with vegetable choline. An assumption regarding the absence of significant effect on weight gain evaluation in the first week of age may also be based on yolk choline vitelline reserves, due the good reserves it has.…”

“…An assumption regarding the absence of significant effect on weight gain evaluation in the first week of age may also be based on yolk choline vitelline reserves, due the good reserves it has. Farina et al (2017) related presence of approximately 6,800 mg kg -1 of choline in yolk, being sufficient to meet and supply the necessary choline reserves. Broilers supplemented with 800 mg kg -1 CC displayed worse feed conversion and feed intake, nevertheless, feed intake was not different from those of other treatments.…”

“…There are currently some herbal compounds that contain significant amounts of choline in their composition, being alternatives to choline chloride in broiler feed choline supplementation. They have great high-disponible amounts of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylethanolamine (Calderano, Nunes, Rodrigueiro, & César, 2015;Farina et al, 2017), which due to its high gut-receptors affinity, provides higher choline bioavailability than choline chloride. These vegetable compounds are less hygroscopic, and does not damage the integrity of other molecules present in nutrients.…”

The objective of this study was to determine choline chloride replacement effects by a vegetable choline source, compost by Trachyspermum amni, Citrullus colocynthis, Achyranthus aspera, and Azadirachta indica in broiler feed. These compounds are fonts of phosphatidylcholine, a high-disponible molecule for intestinal absorption and choline supply. A total of 640 animals were randomly allocated in a completely randomized design, with four treatments and eight repetitions (n = 20), and zootechnical performance (body weight, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and productive efficiency index), carcass yield, cuts yield, and organs (heart, liver, proventriculus, gizzard, and small intestine) relative weights were evaluated. Were evaluated two choline chloride levels (600 and 800 mg kg-1) and two vegetable choline levels (100 and 200 mg kg-1), added in a corn-soybean meal basal diet, during 42 days of raising. Results revealed better feed conversion ratio (p < 0.001) and production efficiency index (p < 0.001) in broilers fed vegetable choline, with no differences on body weight (p = 0.372) and weight gain (p = 0.427) among broilers. Carcass, cuts yield, and organ relative weights do not alter (p > 0.05) due to different group of supplementations. Findings in this trial concludes vegetable choline can adequately replace choline chloride in broiler feed, with improvement on performance and no compromising carcass, cuts or organ development.

“…The main causes of perosis are deficiencies of manganese, zinc (Zoidis et al, 2020), choline (Farina et al, 2017) or biotin in a feed. However, most often in broilers, this disease is associated with a lack of manganese in feed, rapid weight gain of birds and high poultry density in the chicken coop (Greenacre, 2015;Priyanka et al, 2018).…”

Perosis is one of the most common leg pathologies in broiler chickens, during the period of intense weight gain – at the age of 14–35 days. Due to manganese deficiency, the number of sick birds can reach up to 5% of the flock. These studies were carried out in order to establish changes in some indicators of protein, macro- and micromineral metabolism in the blood serum of clinically healthy broiler chickens and birds with perosis at 14, 21 and 28 days of age. A batch of 2,000 Cobb-500 crossbred broiler chickens was selected. Two groups of chickens were directly involved in the research, in which blood was taken at the age of 14, 21 and 28 days: healthy birds and those with perosis signs. Clinical studies showed that 8.0% of chickens on 28th day suffered from perosis. Trace mineral biochemical parameters of serum and blood of broiler chickens with perosis on the 28th day of life significantly differed from those of healthy birds (manganese and zinc). It was found that on the 28th day of life the weight of chickens with perosis was reduced by 42.7%, causing a loss of weight 88 kg per batch of 2000 birds, with a consumption of feed 140 kg. The obtained data will allow the development of early perosis prevention schemes in broiler chickens, which will help manage production losses and increase its profitability. On farms, to prevent the occurrence of perosis, it is necessary to take into account the technological factors of the production of compound feed. Also, an increase in the level of total protein and albumin in serum in the blood may indicate inflammatory processes and dehydration of the body. Therefore, it is better to site a sick bird separately for rearing or hand over to a sanitary culling.

“…Atualmente, existem alguns compostos à base de plantas que contêm quantidades significativas de colina em sua composição, sendo alternativas ao cloreto de colina na suplementação de colina para ração. Eles têm grandes quantidades disponíveis de fosfatidilcolina, fosfatidilinositol e fosfatidiletanolamina (Calderano, et al, 2015;Farina, et al, 2017), que devido à sua alta afinidade por receptores intestinais, fornecem maior biodisponibilidade da colina do que o cloreto de colina. Esses compostos vegetais são menos higroscópicos e não prejudicam a integridade de outras moléculas presentes nos nutrientes.…”

The use of betaine associated or not with choline chloride 70% in Japanese quail diets in the laying phase was evaluated. 504 Japanese quails (Coturnix cortunix Japonica) were used from 104 to 208 days old, in a 3x2 + 1 factorial design, completely randomized design, seven treatments, nine replications, eight birds per experimental unit. Betaine was supplemented in 20% of the digestible methionine level of the control diet, in diets with reformulated betaine the level of enrichment was in the nutritional matrix of the product (100%) and with an extra recovery of 5% (105%). Choline chloride was fixed at 0.07%. Productive performance, egg quality, histometry, and the number of goblet cells from the duodenum and hepatic glycogen were analyzed. The use of betaine promoted greater weight of the eggs to the control, regardless of the mode of use, the use of choline promoted a superior result in the weight of the eggs. In egg quality, only shell percentage was influenced. The use of the reformulated betaine 100% of the matrix promoted greater height of the villi, and a lower villus: crypt ratio to the treatment with the reformulation enriched by 105%. Hepatic glycogen was not influenced. In goblet cells, the reformulation in an extra 105% of the matrix was superior to the matrix in 100%. The hill reduced villus height, improved villus: crypt ratio, and number of goblet cells. In conclusion, the reformulated betaine enriched in an additional 5% of its nutritional matrix replaces the use of choline chloride in the laying of Japanese quail diets.
