Tributyrin is a natural short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) ester derived from butyric acid and glycerol, a premium functional additive for animal feed. It addresses the instability of free butyric acid, delivering targeted gut support to livestock, poultry, and aquatic species while complying with feed safety standards.
Product Specification
- Form: Pale yellow or microencapsulated powder for dry feed
Main Function
1. Gut Barrier Repair: Releases butyric acid in the hindgut to nourish intestinal epithelial cells, reducing permeability.
2. Flora Balance: Inhibits pathogenic bacteria (e.g., Clostridium perfringens) and promotes beneficial microbes.
3. Growth Promotion: Enhances nutrient absorption, boosting feed conversion efficiency and daily weight gain.
Product Feature
- Targeted Release: Resists gastric acid, ensuring butyric acid acts in the lower gut (unlike free butyric acid).
- Low Odor: Reduces the pungent smell of butyric acid, improving feed palatability.
- Stable: Maintains efficacy during feed pelleting and long-term storage.
