ProPhorce SR130: Advanced Tributyrin Solution for Poultry Gut Health and Performance
Butyric acid is the preferred energy source of the cells that line the intestine. Delivering it intact to where it is needed, however, is a formulation challenge. ProPhorce SR130 answers that challenge through an esterified tributyrin technology built for precise, sustained release.
The role of butyric acid in the gut
The enterocytes of the intestinal wall depend on butyrate as their primary fuel. A well-supplied gut lining is a stronger barrier, better able to absorb nutrients and resist the pathogens that undermine performance.
Free butyric acid, however, is largely absorbed high in the digestive tract and carries a strong odour that complicates handling. Much of its benefit is lost before it reaches the lower intestine where it matters most.
Why esterified tributyrin is different
ProPhorce SR130 binds three butyric acid molecules to a glycerol backbone. This ester is stable through the upper tract and is cleaved gradually by intestinal lipases, releasing butyrate steadily along the full length of the gut.
The outcome is targeted delivery without the odour and handling problems of free acids — more of the active reaching the tissue that uses it, at a consistent rate.
What it means for performance
A reinforced intestinal barrier translates into measurable gains: improved feed conversion, stronger nutrient uptake and greater resilience under challenge. Because the effect is structural rather than merely reactive, benefits compound across the production cycle.
For producers seeking a science-led alternative to routine antibiotic support, sustained-release tributyrin is a proven cornerstone of a modern gut-health programme.
