The objectives of this study were to evaluate milk choline as an indicator of choline absorption and to use milk choline to evaluate the efficacy of a rumen-protected choline supplement. In a preliminary 4-wk experiment, two Holstein cows in early lactation were abomasally infused with either 0 or 60 g/d of choline chloride in 2 L of water, which was used as a carrier. Choline infusion increased milk choline secretion from 1.95 to 3.95 g/d during the 2-wk choline infusion period. In Experiment 2, four Holstein cows in early lactation were abomasally infused with 0, 25, 50, and 75 g/d of choline chloride in 2 L of water using a 4 x 4 Latin square design with 1-wk experimental periods. Milk choline secretion was 2.56, 3.62, 3.72, and 3.82 g/d for the respective choline treatments. In Experiment 3, 10 Holstein cows in midlactation were fed either 0 or 50 g/d of choline using an experimental rumen-protected choline supplement during a 2-wk experiment. Milk choline secretion was increased from 2.12 to 2.99 g/d with the supplemental choline. Results of these experiments demonstrated that milk choline is responsive to postruminal choline supply and can be used as a qualitative indicator of choline absorption.

Background: Colostrum, abundant in immunoglobulins and growth factors, plays a vital role in supporting immunity. Both yak and buffalo milk are characterized by their high protein and fat content. However, the metabolomic profiles of yak colostrum (YC), buffalo colostrum (BC), and bovine colostrum (CC) remain largely unexplored.

Polar lipids from dairy are novel sources of energy that may replace other dietary lipids and impact plasma lipidomic profiles in piglets. This study evaluated the impact of feeding diets rich in polar lipids on the plasma lipidome of piglets during the weaning period. Weaned male piglets ( = 240; 21 days of age; 6.

Choline is an important molecule in monitoring food safety and infant nutrition. Here, we report Ce nanogels synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) employing Ce-coordinated acryloyl-lysine polymer brushes (Ce@SiO NGs) as highly efficient cascade nanozymes for colorimetric detection of choline. The synthesized Ce@SiO NGs demonstrated remarkable peroxidase-like activity with a porous exterior, which are essential to entrap choline oxidase (COx) to yield COx@Ce@SiO NGs and construct a cascade reaction system to detect choline.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of increasing choline supplementation on the intake of milk replacer (MR) and calf starter (CS), growth performance, and fecal scores of calves over 8 wk. One hundred calves from commercial herds were transported to the University of Minnesota Southern Research and Outreach Center (SROC) calf facility randomized to one of 4 treatments differing in choline supplementation within MR including: 0 (C0; n = 24), 700 (C700; n = 26), 1,400 (C1400; n = 25), and 2,100 mg/kg choline (C2100; n = 25). Milk replacer contained a basal concentration of 1,650 mg/kg MR resulting in total choline concentrations in the MR of 1,650 mg/kg for C0, 2,350 mg/kg for C700, 3,050 mg/kg for C1400, and 3,750 mg/kg for C2100.

Article Synopsis
- - A review of 32 research papers assessed the impact of rumen-protected choline (RPC) supplementation on metabolic and reproductive performance in transitional dairy cows, with doses ranging from 10 to 100 gm/day and feeding periods varying from 40 to 140 days before and after calving.
- - Findings highlighted that adding herbal choline to dairy cows' diets increased milk production and quality, improved energy balance, and reduced oxidative stress, while also enhancing colostrum IgG concentration for better immunity in calves.
- - The review suggested that a daily RPC dosage of 45-50 gm from 3 weeks pre-calving to 8 weeks post-calving could boost milk yield by at least 10%, although the effects on
