ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of choline chloride alone and in combination with propylene glycol on the growth performance, meat quality and backfat in finishing pigs. A total of 90 crossbred ((Landrace× Yorkshire)× Duroc) pigs with an average initial body weight (BW) of 75.15± 1.94 kg were randomly distributed by BW and sex. This 8-week experiment consisted of 3 dietary treatments with 6 replications per treatment and 5 pigs per pen. The experiment included 3 treatments: CON, basic diet; TRT1, basic diet+0.05% choline chloride; TRT2, basic diet+0.05% biocholine P (chloride chloride and propylene glycol). Body weight was statistically higher (P < 0.05) in pigs fed TRT2 diet than the CON diet in week 8. During 4 to 8 weeks and overall, the average daily gain (ADG) was significant higher (P < 0.05) in the pigs fed TRT2 diet than the CON diet. Digestibility of nitrogen was significantly increased (P < 0.05) at week 4 and week 8, back fat was higher (P < 0.05) in week 6 and week 8 in pigs fed TRT2 diet than the CON diet. In conclusion, dietary TRT2 can increase the BW, ADG, nitrogen, and backfat in finishing pigs.
