Calcium Butyrate Powder (98%)
Calcium Butyrate (98%, available in coated forms of 30%, 60%, and 90%) is a feed additive derived from butyric acid, a naturally occurring short-chain fatty acid (SCFA). It plays a vital role in enhancing animal health and productivity, especially in livestock production. By supporting gut integrity, improving nutrient absorption, and promoting overall digestive well-being, calcium butyrate is widely used in animal nutrition to boost performance and maintain health.
Calcium Butyrate Powder Application
1. Starter Feed Programs – Used in poultry, piglets, calves, and young animals to support early gut development and digestion.
2 . Gut Health Management – Added to feed to maintain healthy intestinal microflora and improve digestive stability.
3. Antibiotic Reduction Programs – Supports natural gut protection as an alternative to growth-promoting antibiotics.
4. Stress Management Periods – Applied during weaning, brooding, vaccination, transport, and dietary transitions.
5 . Feed Efficiency Improvement – Used in commercial feed formulations to enhance nutrient absorption and FCR.
6. Disease Challenge Situations – Supports gut integrity during digestive disturbances or bacterial challenges.
