Abstract:

A 28-d growth assay was conducted to determine the effects of added choline on weanling pig performance. Pigs were fed a control diet without added choline or diets containing 150 g/ton of added choline. No differences in pig growth performance were observed. These results suggest that added choline can be removed from weanling pig diets.
