Berghoft T++300

Fat-O-Lip is a rumen-protected choline source with nanoencapsulated technology. Over 94% of the choline in Fat-O-Lip passes through the rumen and over 98% is absorbed in the intestine.

The transition period is one of the most critical stages of the dairy cow’s production cycle due to negative energy balance and severe hormonal changes.

Ingredients
Protected Choline Chloride – Nano Encapsulated
Protected Phosphatidylcholine – Nano Encapsulated
Bergaft T300 Fat Powder as a Carrier
Benefits of using T++300 in the transition period diet of dairy cows:
Increase milk production
Improve milk composition
Improve reproductive performance
Reduce the incidence of ketosis and fatty liver in the herd
Simultaneous supply of energy and choline to achieve maximum performance
The difference between T++300 and other protected choline sources:
Adding phosphatidylcholine and as a result, there is no need to spend energy and impose an additional metabolic burden on the liver to convert oral choline chloride to phosphatidylcholine and make VLDV.

4 advantages of the new technology of nano-capsules of choline and phosphatidylcholine over other existing sources:

More homogeneous mixture
No loss of nano-choline during physical processes, especially pellet making and feed transportation.
Resistant to heat and pressure during the pellet making process.
Ensuring protection against rumen degradation
More absorption
Choline chloride
The key to successful management of the dairy cow transition period is to achieve optimal production, reproduction and herd health.

Choline [(CH3)3N+CH2CH2OH], a B-vitamin, is an essential nutrient for growth and health in all species.

Choline chloride has vital functions in many metabolic processes in ruminants.

The use of protected choline in dairy cow nutrition by helping to maintain proper liver function in transition cows leads to a uniform and rapid increase in milk production at the beginning of lactation.

Choline deficiency is not common in non-ruminants, due to its widespread distribution in food sources and the lack of a rumen.

Unfortunately, microbial degradation of the rumen is responsible for the destruction of 87 to 99 percent of the unprotected choline in the animal diet.

Since the early 1990s, choline coating technology has made it possible to use choline in the diet of dairy cows.

Functions of choline:

–   Improving fat metabolism: Choline plays an essential role in liver fat metabolism and prevents abnormal fat accumulation in the liver by stimulating their transfer from the liver to cystine or by increasing the breakdown of fatty acids.

Cows in the transition period are in negative energy balance and experience many hormonal changes, which mobilizes the animal’s body fat resources to the vascular system and their accumulation in the liver. Choline is essential as a lipotropic compound for the transfer of fat out of the liver.

–   Improving milk production and milk fat percentage: Choline is one of the sources of methyl groups that are used in the formation of methionine from homocysteine ​​and creatine from guanidinoacetic acid, and as a result, the mammary glands will not face a deficiency of methionine.

It should also be noted that feeding choline to dairy cows transfers fat in the form of VLDL from the liver to the mammary gland, which will be used in the mammary alveoli for milk production and milk fat synthesis.

–   Reduction of metabolic disorders: Maintaining liver health is the main factor in reducing the occurrence of clinical and subclinical metabolic disorders such as: ketosis, metritis, udder displacement, fatty liver and mastitis in dairy cows, which ultimately reduces treatment costs and increases the economic life of the animal.

–   Proper cellular and neurological function: Choline is essential for building and maintaining cellular structure. Its prominent role in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine, which forms the cell membrane and is a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine as a carrier of nerve messages, has been proven.

Also, choline, as a component of the phospholipid structure, is a structural component of cystine or phosphatidylcholine, as well as sphingomyelin.
