How to Choose the Right form of Sodium Butyrate Product?

When choosing sodium butyrate, there are several factors to consider, including price, odor, active content, and gastrointestinal release performance. Different products are designed to meet different market requirements.

1. If price is the top priority: Sodium Butyrate 98% Powder

Sodium Butyrate 98% Powder is the most economical option. It has a very high active content and offers the lowest cost per kilogram.

The main disadvantage is its strong odor, which can be a concern during handling, production, and feed mixing.

2. If you want a balance between price and odor: Sodium Butyrate 98% Granule

Sodium Butyrate 98% Granule is a good compromise between cost and odor.

It has a spherical granule structure, providing better flowability and more uniform mixing compared with powder. Its price is only slightly higher than the powder, while the odor is significantly reduced.

Although it still has some butyric odor, it is much milder than the powder and is generally at a more acceptable level for practical use.

3. If odor control and gastrointestinal release are important: Coated Sodium Butyrate

For customers who place greater emphasis on odor reduction and controlled gastrointestinal release, we offer coated sodium butyrate in 30%, 70%, and 90% grades.

• Coated Sodium Butyrate 30%: The most economical coated option and suitable when price is the main consideration.
• Coated Sodium Butyrate 90%: The best choice when a high active content is required while maintaining the benefits of coating.
• Coated Sodium Butyrate 70%: A good balance between active content, cost, and gastrointestinal release. Its gastrointestinal release performance is approximately twice that of the 30% coated product under our test conditions.

Based on the release data, 1 kg of 70% coated sodium butyrate provides approximately the same amount of gastrointestinal-released sodium butyrate as 2 kg of 30% coated sodium butyrate, subject to the specific application and formulation.
