The inclusion of choline chloride in the premix will help prevent fatty liver. Good choice.
In rabbits, excess fat can accumulate in the liver when energy intake (eg maize, pkc, oil cakes etc) is high but nutrient balance is off. Choline helps in fat metabolism by transporting fat out of the liver. Without enough choline, you risk fatty liver, poor growth, and sometimes reproductive issues.
It also supports better feed efficiency and overall health. That might also explain why the rabbits maintained good performance even with palm kernel cake at 30%, since PKC is a bit fibrous and can affect digestion if not balanced.
