What is Tributyrin?
Tributyrin (or butyrin, or tri-butyrate) is a triglyceride of the short-chain fatty acid called butyrate (sometimes called butyric acid or butanoic acid).Which contains three butyrate molecules esterified to glycerol.
Glyceryl tributyrate is a colorless transparent oily liquid with a slight fatty aroma. The boiling point is 307.5°C and the relative density is 1.0320.
Tributyrin is naturally found in foods such as milk and honey.
Molecular Formula: C15H26O6 Molecular Formula: 302.36
Tributyrin’s Feature
Tributyrin is hardly decomposed through the stomach, but decomposed into butyric acid and glycerol under the action of pancreatic lipase or other esterases,thereby providing sufficient energy source (butyric acid) for the intestines.
Half-life up to 40min,Tributyrin overcomes the defect of fast metabolism of butyrate in the blood, improves blood active oxygen carrying capacity and mitochondrial function for ATP synthesis, and reduce the fatal infection mortality.
The asymmetry of the molecular structure at both ends empowers it’s emulsifying properties and enhances the utilization rate of fat.
Tributyrin has molecular polarity and can effectively penetrate the cell membranes of some viruses and bacteria to get bacteriostatic effect.It can kill the E.coli, salmonella, streptococcus,etc.
The Performance of EUCALORIE Tributyrin feed additives in livestock and poultry ration
On Weaned Piglet
1. Stimulate intestinal development , repair the intestinal injury and reduce diarrhea rate and mortality rate
2. Promote the growth performance and daily weight gain ratio
On Broiler
1. Reduce the intestinal lesions,especially the coccidiosis and clostridium perfringens infection and improve the watery stools.
2. Improve the growth performance and survival rate,significantly lower the abdominal fat weight and increase the breast muscle weight.
On layer
Improve the production performance by about 2%.
All the above information is obtained through long-term repeated experiments. For more experimental data information, please contact us.
