Effect of Tributyrin Supplementation in Diet on Production Performance and Gastrointestinal Tract of Healthy Nursery Pigs

Tributyrin  ,we can produce 45%-50% powder and 90%-95% liquid .

Butyric acid is a volatile fatty acid that serves as a primary source of energy for colonocytes, is a strong mitosis promoter and a differentiation agent in the gastrointestinal tract^, while n-butyrate is an effective anti-proliferation and anti-differentiation agent in various cancer cell lines^. Tributyrin is a precursor of butyric acid that can improve the trophic status of the epithelial mucosa in the gut of nursery piglets.

Butyrate can be released from tributyrin by intestinal lipase, releasing three molecules of butyrate and then is absorbed by the small intestine. The supplementation of tributyrin in the diet may improve the production performance of piglets and act as a mitosis promoter agent in the gastrointestinal tract to stimulate the proliferation of villi in the small intestine of piglets post-weaning.
