Together with other short chain alkanoates, butyric acid is used to improve the growth of bovine animals and is available as the sodium, potassium, magnesium, or calcium salt. The advantage of salts over free acids is that the corrosive and unpleasant odor of the acid is muted which makes salts a lot friendlier to handle. Among the butyrate salts, calcium butyrate finds applications as a critical feed additive in end-use industries such as poultry and dairy farming, animal health, and pharmaceutical. It also selectively destroys pathogens and micro-organisms and regulates the growth of probiotic bacteria. Yet, calcium butyrate also helps maintain and restore calcium balance. Common uses can be summarized as: • Preservative • Feed starter additive • Butyric acid carrier salt • Organic calcium source • Mold inhibitor
