ButyCal CCB94

Encapsulated Calcium Butyrate — Enhancing Intestinal Integrity for Optimal Performance

BUTYCAL is a premium encapsulated calcium butyrate designed specifically for livestock. Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid that plays a crucial role in maintaining gut health and integrity. By protecting the butyrate in an encapsulated form, BUTYCAL ensures targeted delivery within the gastrointestinal tract, maximizing its benefits.

Avantages Clés

  • Improved Intestinal Integrity — supports gut cell health reducing permeability and promoting a robust intestinal barrier
  • Enhanced Nutrient Absorption — helps optimize nutrient absorption for better overall health and performance
  • Supports Immune Function — contributes to balanced gut microbiota enhancing immune response
  • Promotes Growth Performance — aids in improving feed efficiency and livestock growth metrics

Applications

Suitable for ruminants, monogastrics, poultry and swine. Ideal during stress periods such as weaning and transport.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is butyric acid used for in animal feed?

Butyric acid is a short-chain fatty acid that supports gut wall integrity, stimulates villi development, and provides energy for intestinal cells — leading to better nutrient absorption and gut health in poultry and livestock.

What species is Butycal CCB94 best suited for?

Butycal CCB94 is particularly effective for poultry (broilers and layers) and young ruminants where intestinal development and gut health are priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the gut health benefits of butyric acid for poultry?

Butyric acid serves as the primary energy source for colonocytes and intestinal epithelial cells, promoting villi height and surface area for nutrient absorption. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, supports tight junction integrity to reduce gut leakiness, and inhibits pathogenic bacterial growth through pH reduction.

Is ButyCal CCB94 a source of rumen-protected butyrate?

ButyCal CCB94 is formulated as a protected butyrate product using a coating technology that allows targeted release in the small intestine rather than the rumen. This rumen bypass characteristic makes it suitable for beef and dairy cattle where butyrate delivery to the hindgut is desired.

Can ButyCal CCB94 be used in calf milk replacer?

Yes, ButyCal CCB94 can be included in calf milk replacer at 0.5–1 g/head/day to support intestinal development and reduce diarrhea incidence in pre-weaned calves. The protected form ensures butyrate is released in the abomasum and small intestine rather than being degraded in the rumen.

How does ButyCal CCB94 support intestinal villi development?

Butyric acid from ButyCal CCB94 stimulates intestinal cell proliferation and promotes villi height increase of 15–25% in poultry, resulting in greater absorptive surface area. This improved villi:crypt depth ratio enhances nutrient digestibility and contributes to better FCR and weight gain.

What is the recommended inclusion level for ButyCal CCB94 in broiler feed?

The recommended inclusion rate for ButyCal CCB94 in broiler feed is 0.5–1.0 kg/tonne of finished feed. For operations targeting enhanced gut health during high-stress periods (e.g., early growth phase, heat stress, or after antibiotic withdrawal), use the upper end of the range at 1 kg/tonne.
