Calmorin-L
Monobutyrin (C9H18O4) is a monoester of butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA), and glycerol. It is a naturally occurring compound found in various biological systems and is widely used in animal nutrition due to its beneficial effects on gut health, immune function, and overall animal performance. Monobutyrin serves as a source of butyrate, a key energy source for intestinal epithelial cells, and plays a critical role in maintaining a healthy gut microbiome.

Mechanism of action
Monobutyrin is commonly included in animal feed as a supplement, typically in combination with other fat-soluble nutrients. It can be incorporated into premixes or added directly to animal feed formulations in a variety of animal production systems.
Physical Characteristics
- Colorless, oily liquid at room temperature
- Fat-soluble and can be efficiently included in fat-based animal feed formulations.
- Soluble in water when in liquid form
Benefits
- Direct energy supply for intestinal cells to improve intestinal function
- Stimulate the proliferation of epithelial cells, increase the height of intestinal villi, promote nutrient absorption
- Accelerate the proliferation of beneficial intestinal microorganisms and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria
- Hydrophilic and oleophilic, which can direct access to the hindgut to maintain intestinal health
- Boost animal disease resistance, anti-stress ability, and relieve a variety of stress losses

Applications in Animal Nutrition
Poultry: Improves growth rates, feed conversion, and gut health, reducing the incidence of intestinal diseases such as necrotic enteritis.
Swine: Helps improve the gut health of piglets, especially during weaning, reducing stress and improving post-weaning growth.
Ruminants: Beneficial for dairy cattle and beef cattle, improving milk production and overall growth performance by enhancing rumen health and digestive efficiency.
Aquatic: Supports fish health by promoting gut integrity, improving nutrient absorption, and increasing resistance to diseases.
