Butyrate & Glyceride solutions
Butyrate and glyceride form a cornerstone of gastrointestinal health. Adisseo Butyrate & Glyceride solutions provide synergistic solutions designed to strengthen gut integrity, optimize microbial ecology, reinforce immune barriers, and improve performance outcomes across pigs and poultry. Each product leverages targeted modes of action to support animals under both physiological and pathological challenges.
- Enhances gut microbiome balance
- Enhances inflammatory response in the gut
- Butyrate specifically, improves gut integrity
The growing gut health pressure
In today’s high‑performance pig and poultry systems, the gut is often exposed to stressors: feed transitions, pathogen pressure, early‑life immaturity, and production intensity. These factors weaken gut integrity, disrupt microbial balance, and trigger inflammation. When the intestinal system becomes compromised, animals show more diarrhoea or wet litter, poorer growth, inconsistent feed efficiency, and greater susceptibility to disease, ultimately reducing productivity and profitability.
Where Butyrate & Glyceride solutions come in
Adisseo’s Butyrate & Glyceride solutions consist of two complementary groups of gut‑health ingredients.
First, the range includes protected butyrate sources. These are available as high‑concentration sodium butyrate or as precision‑delivery coated formulations, and designed to release butyrate gradually throughout the gastrointestinal tract. These protected forms ensure efficient delivery, low odor, low fines, and uniform mixing, while providing epithelial cells with a direct and readily available energy source.
Secondly, the range includes glyceride‑based solutions, including combinations of C4 mono‑ and tributyrin, as well as lauric‑acid‑based mono‑, di‑ and triglycerides. These glycerides are known for their targeted antimicrobial activity and their ability to modulate both Gram‑negative and Gram‑positive pathogens, supporting microbial balance.
Together, these butyrate and glyceride technologies provide a synergistic approach: butyrates strengthen and energize the gut lining, while glycerides help stabilise the microbiome and manage pathogenic pressure. This results in a stronger, more resilient intestinal environment where performance can be maintained even under challenge.
The solutions Butyrate & Glyceride solutions offer
By reinforcing the gut lining, stabilizing the microbiome, and modulating inflammatory processes, the Adisseo Butyrate & Glyceride solutions help animals stay resilient in the face of nutritional, environmental, and pathogenic challenges. They support a strong, functional intestine capable of absorbing nutrients efficiently, coping with stress, and maintaining overall health. As a result, producers benefit from more predictable performance, improved robustness, and better production outcomes.
Mode of action
Adisseo Butyrate & Glyceride solutions help maintain a well‑balanced and diverse microbial ecosystem by promoting beneficial bacteria while limiting harmful microorganisms. Depending on the product within the Adisseo Butyrate & Glyceride solutions range, antibacterial effects target Gram‑negative or Gram‑positive pathogens, helping to prevent dysbiosis and reduce issues such as diarrhoea, wet litter, or necrotic enteritis. A more stable microbiome supports better digestive efficiency and overall animal robustness.
Glyceride‑based solutions play a key role in modulating intestinal inflammatory pressure by reducing pathogen‑driven immune activation. Through their targeted antimicrobial activity, glycerides help limit harmful bacteria and viruses that trigger excessive immune responses. This supports a more balanced cytokine profile, preventing unnecessary inflammation that can damage the gut lining or divert metabolic energy away from growth and production. In combination with butyrate’s gut‑supportive signalling effects, this results in improved resilience, fewer performance dips under challenge, and faster recovery following stress or infection.
Butyrate serves as a direct energy source for enterocytes, supporting rapid turnover and repair of the intestinal lining. It stimulates tight‑junction proteins and mucin production, helping maintain a firm, cohesive barrier that reduces permeability and prevents unwanted bacteria and toxins from crossing. This ensures a more resilient gut capable of handling stress periods such as weaning and feed changes without losing functionality
Pigs
