Julie von Hellens Thanks for mentioning that it is patented - perhaps I had missed it out in the earlier discussions. Could you share the patent number ( so that we may find information available in the public domain) and understand more about the product. Certainly a very interesting product, you have worked upon.

Julie von Hellens Thanks Indeed for your response, and certainly interesting. However from Chemistry point of view, unless we get an idea of the technology involved it becomes difficult to perceive the efficacy of the product in water. Perhaps will also help in establishing confidence amongst the users. Stay Safe !!!

Kausar Shaikh: You are most welcome

Kausar Shaikh: Ideally, the higher concentration means better efficacy for all products (including Sodium Butyrate), however, there are various factors that may have a say in the performance. Few of the important parameters are below: 1) Coating system - This is important because with pKa value of 4.82, Sodium Butyrate will get converted into Butyric acid in the Foregut (if coating material or qua ...

dr Piotr Stanislawski I have similar view as well, unless the concept of application of Butyrates in protected form is proven to be erroneous or there is another explanation based on technology in this new application, which is not yet clear..

Dr. Vijay Swami Yeah, I found at least 1 patent that was applied for with cmc as coating material while searching google. I ain't sure but it appears it was later withdrawn (EP20090767981).Any comments from the experts in the group will help us get further enlightened.Source : https://patents.google.com/patent/EP2373181A1/en

dan hofer Difficult question! I have found companies suggesting as low as 250 gm / mt for some brands while few recommending 1 kg / mt while few others recommending 2 kg or even 3 kg per mt in poultry. I am convinced that I am now totally confused on the dose recomendation. Perhaps you should enquire with the producer of the particular brand. I wish i could have been more helpful
