CholiGEM™

We invested more than half a decade to design a unique C³ model, to achieve the best results from supplementing Choline in the next generation of encapsulated choline solution “CholiGEM”. The uniqueness of this model lies in:

Kemin’s Choline Core: We developed our own core with an expectation to coat with technical ingredients. Various physical characteristics were considered during the development phase of these granules: smooth core surface, controlled hygroscopicity, desired specific gravity, homogeneity, standard particle size, stability, desired level of active load of choline chloride in the dry granules and resistance during physical processing.

Scientific Coating: We encapsulate the core with different levels of technical ingredients, improving the strength of the coating. This coating isn’t too strong or too weak, but a perfect scientific balance. Excellent results are obtained with our scientific balance of 60% Choline chloride in the encapsulation.

Choline Concentration: Our Choline core encapsulated with scientific coating resulted in to 60% Choline chloride in CholiGEM. More than double the concentration of Choline chloride in CholiGEM with superior bioavailability creates up to 30% more space in premix formulation.

Particle size and specific gravity have been shown to be the primary determinants of particle retention time in the rumen (Poncet, 1991, Dufreneix et al., 2019). The characteristics necessary to effectively evaluate rumen protected choline are, choline concentration, rumen escape, intestinal availability and digestibility. High rumen escape is not enough to ensure that the animal receives the digestible choline needed, but it is required condition to achieve elevated levels of choline in the intestine for better absorption and thus higher bioavailaibilty.

CholiGEM has proved high protection rate and intestinal availability. Thanks to the right particle size and its specific gravity allow a rapid movement through the rumen, leading to reduced microbial degradation and increased intestinal digestibility.

CholiGEM has the ideal size and specific gravity, resulting in a combination of an elevated level of rumen escape, providing high intestinal choline content ready to be absorbed and available by the animal.
