Coated sodium butyrate is a modified form of sodium butyrate, a salt of the short-chain fatty acid butyric acid. This compound is commonly used in animal feed supplements and is coated to improve its stability and targeted release in the gastrointestinal tract. The coating serves to protect the sodium butyrate from premature degradation in the acidic environment of the stomach, ensuring its delivery to the lower intestine where it can exert its beneficial effects. Sodium butyrate has been associated with promoting gut health, enhancing intestinal function, and supporting overall animal performance. The coated form enhances the bioavailability of sodium butyrate, making it a valuable ingredient in feed formulations aimed at optimizing animal well-being and productivity.
Composition
Sodium butyrate is composed of sodium salts of butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid. Its chemical formula is C4H7NaO2. The compound consists of a four-carbon alkyl chain (butyric acid) attached to a sodium ion, forming a salt. Sodium butyrate occurs naturally in certain foods, such as butter and animal fats, and is also produced through microbial fermentation in the colon.
