CholiGEM

Concentrated Rumen-Protected Choline For Optimum Transition Cow Nutrition

CholiGEM is one of the most concentrated rumen-protected choline chloride supplements on the market today. It is designed for proactive dairy farmers who recognize the value of maximizing transition cow nutrition to enhance liver health during this critical phase. It addresses fatty liver and ketosis, which reduces the chance of lowered milk yields, milk fever, mastitis, fertility issues, and more — and therefore helps maximize profitability.

Why CholiGEM is the Preferred Choline Supplement for Transition Cow Nutrition and Health

Dairy producers choose CholiGEM because:

  • It is one of the most highly concentrated encapsulated forms of choline on the market today, containing 57% choline chloride (compared to 25% to 28% of choline chloride for other commercially available rumen-protected choline products).
  • It can create more space in diet formulation and can be an effective tool in achieving optimal dairy production. 
  • It has superior bioavailability.1
  • It may contribute to a greener footprint2 by maintaining optimal transition cow health and having a lower inclusion rate.

CholiGEM Benefits

Liver icon

Improved liver function and fat metabolism

CholiGEM provides the choline required for optimum liver function and filters deposited fat, resulting in a healthy liver and better overall animal health. Choline improves the fat metabolism in the liver, which reduces the risk of clinical and subclinical ketosis and associated metabolic disorders.3

Energy icon

Optimized energy status

Choline helps the liver metabolize and release more energy, supporting milk and milk component production. It improves the cow's overall energy status, leading to better conception rates and enhanced immunity.4

Lactation icon

Improved lactation performance

Choline is an essential nutrient for dairy cows with multiple functions for optimal milk production — especially during the transition period. Supplementation of CholiGEM during the transition period improves milk yield for up to 150 days into lactation.3

Health icon

Improved health and immunity

In addition to improving liver health, CholiGEM has been shown to enhance uterine immune health and potentially reduce the incidence of metritis.3
