Choline Chloride Powder
Choline Chloride Powder is a white to off-white crystalline powder containing 60% choline chloride, a quaternary ammonium salt essential as a nutrient in animal and poultry feed. It serves as a vital source of choline, an important component in fat metabolism, liver function, and cell membrane integrity. Produced through chemical synthesis, this powder form is highly soluble in water, making it easy to incorporate into feed premixes and supplements. Choline chloride is widely used in the agriculture industry to prevent choline deficiency, enhance growth performance, and improve overall health in livestock. Beyond animal nutrition, it finds applications in chemical manufacturing and pharmaceuticals.

Amprolium Hydrochloride
Amprolium Hydrochloride is a white, odorless, crystalline powder used primarily as a coccidiostat, which means it inhibits the growth of Eimeria species (protozoan parasites) responsible for coccidiosis in poultry and other animals. It works by mimicking thiamine (vitamin B1), thereby competitively inhibiting thiamine uptake by the parasite, disrupting its metabolism, and preventing its proliferation. Amprolium HCl is widely used in veterinary medicine, especially in poultry farming, and is often included in feed or drinking water. It complies with BP 2008 and USP 32 pharmacopeial standards.
