The molecular formula of triglyceride tributyrate is C15H26O6, the molecular weight is 302.37;

As a precursor of butyric acid, triglyceride is a kind of excellent butyric acid supplement with stable physical and chemical properties, safe and non-toxic side effects. It not only solves the shortcoming of smelly and volatile butyric acid, but also solves the problem that it is difficult to directly add butyric acid through the stomach into the intestine, so it has a broad application prospect in the field of animal nutrition.  As a feed additive, triglyceride can directly act on the digestive tract of animals, provide energy for the intestinal tract of animals, improve the intestinal health of animals, regulate the growth performance and health status of animals.

Features effect: 

1. 100% through stomach, no waste.

2. Provide energy rapidly: The butyric acid in the product will be released slowly under the action of intestinal lipase, which is short chain fatty acid. It provides energy for intestinal mucosal cell quickly, promotes rapid growth and development of intestinal mucosal.

3. Protect intestinal mucosa: The development and maturation of intestinal mucosa is the key factor to restrict growth of young animals. The product is absorbed at the tree points of the foregut, midgut and hindgut, effectively repairing and protecting the intestinal mucosa.

4. Sterilization: Prevention of colon segment nutritional diarrhea and ileitis, Increase animal disease-resistant, anti-stress.

5. Promote milk: Improve brood matrons’ food intake. Promote brood matrons’ lactate. Improve breast milk quality.

6. Growth accordance: Promote weaning cubs’ food intake. Increase nutrient absorption, protect cub, reduce death rate.

7. Safety in use: Improve animal produce performance. It is the best succedaneum of Antibiotic growth promoters.

8. High cost-effective: It’s three times to increase the effectiveness of butyric acid compared with Sodium butyrate.

Instead of using antibiotics  

At present, there are few reports about the substitution of antibiotics by triglyceride at home and abroad.

Supplementation of bacitracin zinc and different doses of Tributyrin in diets of piglets showed that the supplementation of bacitracin zinc at 1 000 to 1 500 mg/kg can replace the supplementation of antibiotics, and maintain the growth performance, intestinal morphology and immune function of piglets.  When the dosage was 2 000~2 500mg/kg, it could not only replace antibiotics, but also significantly improve the intestinal morphology, growth performance and immunity of piglets, and improve the health level of piglets.

In weaned piglets the double match foods add 3 butyric acid glyceride and oregano oil or salicylic acid methyl ester can promote the intestinal V/C value, improve piglets intestinal morphology, significantly increase the abundance of thick wall fungus door, reduce the deformation of doors, defence coli bacteria, escherichia, abundance, changed the structure of intestinal flora, and metabolites is weaned piglets intestinal health, It can be used in weaned piglets instead of antibiotics.

Dietary supplemented with TB and antibiotics has similar growth performance for weaned piglets, and triglyceride and antibiotics have synergistic effect.
