TOPICS
ABSTRACT
Poultry production plays a significant role in meeting the everincreasing
global demand for animal protein. In recent years, poultry nutritionists
have shown considerable interest in alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters,
including organic acids. One of these alternatives is butyric acid, which exhibits
antimicrobial activity, lowers the pH of intestinal contents, and reduces the
abundance of pathogenic microorganisms. Various forms of butyric acid (such
as salts, coated salts, and butyric acid glycerides) are utilised in poultry practice,
each differing in effectiveness, bioavailability, stability and targeted release
within the gastrointestinal tract. This article provides a comprehensive review of
research on the effects of different forms of butyric acid on the functional status
of the gastrointestinal tract, nutrient digestibility, slaughter value and production
performance in poultry.
