Article Synopsis
- Previous research highlights that sufficient choline nutrition during late gestation enhances fetal development, but early gestation's role remains under-explored.
- The current study examines the effects of a herbal choline source, Biocholine, on the development of offspring from ewes supplemented during early gestation.
- Results showed no significant differences in birth and weaning weights, milk yield, or quality between supplemented and non-supplemented ewes, but those given Biocholine had increased newborn weight despite reduced placental membrane development.
Choline chloride is used to provide choline in dog foods; however, in other domestic species, it has been replaced with a polyherbal containing phosphatidylcholine. A polyherbal containing , , , , and was evaluated in adult dogs through body weight changes, subcutaneous fat thickness, blood metabolites, and gene expression. Forty dogs (4.

A total of 280 measurements were collected between 5 and 15 d postpartum (pp) from 36 multiparous Pelibuey ewes. Study variables were measured between 2 and 9 weeks pp and MY was measured by manual milking, UV prior to and following milking was measured using the technique of making moulds from aluminium foil.
