Tributyrin

Type: Antimicrobial glyceride
Purity: 90% min
Appearance: Pale yellow liquid
Active release: Stable and sustained butyric acid release

Tributyrin is an antimicrobial glyceride at 90% min purity supplied as a pale yellow liquid. Its value in a feed formulation is release behaviour rather than butyric acid content alone: the triglyceride form gives stable and sustained release of butyric acid down the gut instead of dumping it in the foregut, which is where sodium butyrate loses most of its effect. It improves gut health and feed conversion efficiency and supports the immune system.

Why buyers specify this grade

Stable and sustained release of butyric acid rather than an immediate foregut release
Purity 90% min in a pale yellow liquid that meters cleanly into a liquid dosing line
Powerful antimicrobial properties that reduce bacterial infection pressure
Measurable effect on feed conversion efficiency, not only on gut condition
Supports immunity and microbiota stability alongside gut function

Where it is used

Gut function improvement and bacterial infection reduction in animal feed
Gut microflora balance to optimise growth performance
Immune system support and disease resistance programmes
Antibiotic-reduction feeding programmes

Who buys it

Feed mills running liquid additive dosing
Poultry, swine and aquaculture nutritionists
Producers reducing in-feed antibiotic use
Premix and feed additive blenders

Problems it solves

Butyrate released too early in the digestive tract to reach the hindgut
Odour and handling problems associated with free butyric acid
Feed conversion drifting as gut health deteriorates under stress
Loss of performance when antibiotic growth promoters are withdrawn

Packing and options

Dose rate advised against species and feeding programme
Packing format confirmed at quotation

How it compares

Sodium butyrate delivers butyrate cheaply but mostly in the upper tract; monobutyrin is a monoglyceride liquid that acts earlier and more quickly. Tributyrin is the triglyceride option to choose when the target is sustained release further down the gut and a longer-acting antimicrobial effect.

Handling and storage

Dose according to species and specific animal needs
Store in closed containers away from heat and direct light
Meter into the liquid addition line rather than dry-mixing

FAQ

Tributyrin questions buyers ask

What purity is your tributyrin

90% min, supplied as a pale yellow liquid.

How does it differ from sodium butyrate

Tributyrin is a triglyceride that gives stable and sustained release of butyric acid, rather than releasing it immediately in the upper digestive tract.

What does it do for the animal

It improves gut health and feed conversion efficiency, reduces bacterial infections and enhances the immune system.

What dose should we use

The rate is adjusted to specific animal needs. Send the species and feeding programme and a recommendation is given.

Are TDS and MSDS available

Yes, TDS, MSDS and a sample COA are available for tributyrin in the document centre.

Is it a liquid or a powder

This grade is a pale yellow liquid.
