SCIENTISTS SAY
Choline is a Required Nutrient for Supporting Calf Health & Performance
New science demonstrates choline is a required nutrient that can help improve calf health and growth. New research from the University of Florida and the University of Wisconsin shows that calves from dams supplemented with ReaShure grew faster and were healthier than those from cows that did not receive ReaShure.

“Calves born to choline-supplemented dams have the added benefit of improved growth and health.”

Choline is a Required Nutrient for Improving Colostrum Yield and Quality
Colostrum is essential for survival and health of the newborn calf. The cow’s placenta completely separates the dam and fetal blood, preventing immunoglobulin (lg) transfer during gestation. Therefore, the newborn’s immune protection relies primarily on colostral immunoglobulins absorbed in the intestine during the first few hours after birth.

“Choline dramatically increased, colostrum yield – an 80% increase in our study.”

Choline is a Required Nutrient for Healthy Transition
The transition to lactation is a metabolically challenge period for a dairy cow as they biologically prepare for calving and the onset of lactation. ReaShure Precision Release Choline has a 25-year track record of helping cows make a healthy transition from the dry period into a prosperous lactation.

“Choline plays an important role in metabolic health. Multiple studies have shown ReaShure’s impact on transition cow health.”
Dr. Marcos Zenobi
Research Study from 2018
Choline is a Required Nutrient for Optimizing Milk Production
In dairy cattle, choline is recognized by scientists as a required nutrient for a successful lactation, which must first begin with a healthy transition period. Central to a healthy transition period is the ability of the liver to make enough glucose to support milk production. When nutrition and metabolism cannot keep up with the demands of milk production, cows fail to reach their genetic potential. Click for full study: Research Detailer and Research Summary.
“Even in very high-producing cows, we saw a
