It's quite late to comment.
Looking at history predict choline deficient and high energy diet.
I can share my experience with you. Providing Choline chloride supplementation (with balanced diet in-fact) Can check the mortality in 3 to 5 days. If possible give CC through water for 5 days.
To achieve less feed intake these days high energy diet has become common in commercial feed.
