Based on our experience, for broilers, if you're using Adimix Precision (a target release, precision delivered butyric acid) for booster stage(Day 1 to 10),1 Kilogram Of Adimix Precision per Ton of Booster feeds, for grower stage(Day 11 to 20) we recommend 500 grams of Adimix Precision per Ton of Feed of Grower Feed and in the Finisher (Day 21 to harvest) it’s best to use still 500grams of Adimix Precision per Ton of finisher Feed or as low as 250 grams of Adimix Precision per ton of finisher feeds.

Different combinations of Butyric acid are available in market: 30%, 60%, 90%, etc. Though claims to be coated does 60 & 90% are coated. Efficacy wise what concentration is better.

Appreciable comments from Mr. Goswami, Also there is purity issue come for butyric acid, Fermented butyric acid I heard that is much better than normal Avilable butyric acid, fermented shown. Higher Bioavilability and also no heavy metal finding.. Synthetic material like CMC which are also used in coating in pharma industry are now using.. I still having doubt on all facts, plz explain

Dear Mike,
Interestingly, there are various variants of Butyric Acid salts available commercially, varying in the coating system, varying in the percentage claim of Na-butyrate or Ca-butyrate in the products. Was wondering if you have used butyric acid (pure) or their salts with a coating system. Could you let us know the specs of the Butyric acid you had used?

Dear Mike,
You mentioned the commercial doses. But they actually differ from product to product btw 0.5-3kg/ton feed. Can you recommend a narrower range according to diff types of BA?
Regards.
