Short answer · reviewed August 2026
What is Choline Chloride 60% Feed Grade?
Choline chloride 60% feed grade is choline chloride adsorbed onto a carrier — usually corn cob or silica — to a nominal 60% choline chloride content, equivalent to about 44.6% choline. It is typically dosed at 0.5–2.0 kg per tonne of finished feed. Because the carrier changes flowability, hygroscopicity and vitamin compatibility in a premix, a comparable offer must state assay, carrier type, moisture and packaging, not only the 60% figure.
Choline Chloride 60% — commercial specification
| Metric | Value | Unit | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Choline chloride assay | ≥ 60.0 | % | CoA |
| Choline content | ≈ 44.6 | % | Derived from assay — state on CoA |
| Carrier | Corn cob or silica — must be named | — | CoA / technical data sheet |
| Moisture | ≤ 4.0 | % | CoA — hygroscopic product |
| Trimethylamine (TMA) | ≤ 300 | mg/kg | Test report — odour and quality marker |
| Physical form | Free-flowing brown (corn cob) or white (silica) powder | — | Sample / lot photo |
| Heavy metals (as Pb) | ≤ 10 | mg/kg | Test report |

Documents a compliant offer must carry
- Certificate of Analysis (CoA) per batchThe only document that ties the delivered lot to the specification you contracted.
- GMP+ B2, FAMI-QS or equivalent feed-safety certificationRequired by most EU and Gulf buyers and by many mills' own HACCP plans.
- Certificate of OriginDrives duty treatment and, in several markets, import permit eligibility.
- Heavy-metal and dioxin/PCB statement or test reportFeed-safety limits are enforced at import; a missing report stops the container.
- Packing list with lot numbers and production dateLets you trace a claim to a specific lot and check remaining shelf life on arrival.
Packaging, Incoterms and container maths
- Packaging
- 25 kg paper bag with PE liner · 500–750 kg big bag · Moisture-barrier liner mandatory
- Common Incoterms
- FOB · CFR · CIF · DAP
- Minimum order
- One pallet from traders; producers usually quote from one container
- Container loading
- 20 ft ≈ 16–20 t depending on carrier and bulk density (volume-limited on corn cob)
- Lead time
- Ex-stock 1–2 weeks; direct producer 4–8 weeks plus sailing
- Shelf life and storage
- 12–24 months depending on carrier; corn cob is shorter in humid climates
Choline chloride is strongly hygroscopic and degrades vitamins it sits next to — buy it separately from the vitamin premix unless the supplier can document compatibility, and confirm the liner specification in writing.
Who produces it
FeedMatch Group is independent and does not represent any producer. The landscape below is descriptive, not a ranking.
- Large Asian producersSupply most of the internationally traded 60% material, mainly on corn cob carrier.
- Regional blendersAdsorb imported 70–75% liquid onto a local carrier; can be shorter lead time but carrier quality varies more.
- Liquid choline suppliersSell 70–75% liquid for mills equipped to dose liquids, avoiding the carrier cost entirely.
