Singao is the first company in China to have successfully developed and synthesized sodium butyrate and was also honored to set the national standard for feed grade sodium butyrate in China.

With the restricted use of antibiotics, increasing attention is being given to the importance of gut health to optimize productivity. Supplementing butyric acid in the form of sodium butyrate provides energy to enteric cells promoting cell proliferation and improving gut health as well as feed absorption thereby enhancing feed efficiency.

Singao is the first company in China to have successfully developed and synthesized sodium butyrate and was also honored to set the national standard for feed grade sodium butyrate in China. Singao strives to be constantly innovative and now its butyrate products have reached its eight generation, Ding Su G, with key features below:

• High potency (>98% sodium butyrate), reduced butyric odor
• Applicable to all animals. Easily incorporated into feed, premixes, additives and animal health products
• An excellent core material, easily coated, slow release in the stomach and intestines, taking care of the entire digestive tract
• Crystalline matrix with interwoven structure, a novel technology

The uniform ball-shaped granular structure contributes to better a CV in feed mixing homogeneity test and reduced segregation during transportation. In addition, the crystalline matrix leads to a unique surface characteristic which enhances its coating ability. It results in the uneven thickness of coating layer which facilitates the slow release of butyric throughout the digestive tract.

A recent in vitro study compared butyric acid release (%) in stomach of 70% coated Ding Su G in ball-shaped granules and the conventional 70% coated rod-shaped granules of sodium butyrate (both products were coated with 30% palm stearin). Ding Su G in ball-shaped granules showed a great reduction (31%) of butyric acid release in the stomach after one hour of retention compared to the rod-shaped sodium butyrate. Therefore, to improve feed digestibility and maintain the integrity of mucus layer in the stomach, 70%-90% coated butyrate salt could be a good choice!

The product is also available to purchase from its subsidiary business unit, Manuka Biotech, with the name of BTR 98. For more information visit www.manukabiotech.com or email at enquiry@manukabiotech.com
