Antibiotics Alternatives: the multiple effects of butyrate
Published:May 17, 2017
Summary
Throughout the human history, utilization of antimicrobials in food production and human health have been greatly favored. Tremendous improvement in farm animal production and historically unprecedented enhancement in human health protection were marked benefits of utilizing antibiotic in agricultural and human medical arenas. However, the misuse and overdose of antibiotics has resulted in accele...

Well written article and results have been presented in an striking manner, particularly Fig. 2. PDCB can be a good alternative to water administered organic acids. Dr. Yakout, thank you for the informative article.
Very good information on the various positive effect of Butyric acid in the gut. The concept is really good for prevention of NE in poultry. Though Butyric acid has no direct effect on Clostridium but can help indirectly by keeping a healthy gut.
Very informative article.
But . What are the different uses in poultry between :
1-the butyric acid and salts of butyric as sodium butyrate?
2-The capsulated butyric acid and non capsulated ?
Thank you ... for the long list of actions and effects of sodium butyrate (and not butyric acid which will not have the effectiveness of sodium Butyrate, acid will be unable to arrive in the intestin, the site of action) ... It would be honest also to add that only the form Butyrate Not dissociated arrival in the intestine will be able to this long generic results ... It is all too easy to take advantage of the literature and benefits of Butyrate...when it is added 50% or 70% stearin (antinutritional) !!! Which radically changes its efficiency capabilities...and more on young animals with immature digestive equipment !!!
Under the name Butyrate ... many products do their marketing, but very few products are able to satisfy the major goals of sodium Butyrate and their especially users ... what are screaming in the comparative tests ...
There are so many herbals and plants which can counter Antibiotics. Only the thing is they are to be made public and informative.There is separate Aurveda in India in which you can find the data. Our forefathers kept all the information for universal usage without any commercial benefit.
Now we are studying on two separate experiments with capsulated butyric acid (Sodium butyrate) in older laying hens and layer chicks (from 0 to 30 weeks).
Yes, it is time to minimize the use of antibiotic as an AGP and any alternative for this is required because in Asia, and especially in Pakistan, the poultry production is still on old methodology and the birds remain challenged from the pathogenic microorganism.
Thank for the informative article. For greater synergy a combination of different organic acids with varying molecular weights brings best result. Consider combining with salts of formic, proprionic, acetic and or butryric/lactic/citrate acid will create a strong antimicrobial activity while improving the gut health hence performance.
As AGPs replacement. It is very good to have actiscles with full information like theirs to have a full understanding about agps'replacement. Which one should be the best choice for agps replacements?
