- Product Highlights
Every transition cow is deficient in choline, as it is degraded by the rumen and cannot be synthesized in sufficient quantities to meet her bodily requirements. When fed during the transition phase, Choline has been shown to reduce metabolic disorders such as ketosis, metritis, abnomasum displacement, and hypocalcemia; increase milk supply and milk component yield, and produce higher quality colostrum.
Benefits of VitalChol DX™ with Duracoat™ Technology:
- Delivers optimal levels of choline absorption in the small intestine
- Increases milk yield in early lactation
- Reduces fatty liver and metabolic disorders
- Lessens instances of disease
- Supports healthier transitions

Technical Details & Test Data
- Bioavailability
Internal in-vitro Bioavailability Estimation conducted by Dr. Hector Diaz and Dr. Jim Linn, Milk Specialties Global, Eden Prairie, MN
RUP(%) x TTCPdig(%) = Bioavailability(%)
94.7 x 79 = ~75% Bioavailability
Rumen Undegradable Protein was determined using the National Research Council. 2001 method. Nutrient Requirements of Dairy Cattle 7th Ed. National Academic Press; Washington, DC, USA
Total tract N digestibility was determined using the in vitro intestinal digestibility assay for Ruminant feeds. D.A. Ross, M. Gutierrez-Botero, and M.E. Van Amburgh. Department of Animal Science Cornell University
External in-vivo Bioavailability Estimation conducted by Dr. Paul Kononoff, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE
RUP(%) x TTCPdig(%) = Bioavailability(%)
93.9 x 86.8 = ~81% Bioavailability
Rumen Undegradable Protein was determined using the mobile bag technique. Estimation of the Proportion of Feed Protein Digested in the Small Intestine of Cattle Consuming Wet Corn Gluten Feed.
