Some pieces of information about butyric acid
- It is a natural fermentation product present in the gut environment;
- It is a natural, selective modulator of intestinal micro flora and a natural stimulating factor of intestinal immune system;
- It is an important energy source to the epithelial cells of intestinal mucosa: it enlarges the villi;
- Its ester Sn 1 monobutyrin is particularly adequate as a feed integrator because its molecular form is chemically “protected”, physiologically easily absorbable, odourless, water dispersible.
