Buyer intent coverage
Calcium butyrate (feed grade) — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
Calcium butyrate is chosen where the diet's sodium load is already constrained and the formulator still wants a butyrate source. It serves the same Ontario and Quebec broiler, layer and piglet gut-health programmes as sodium butyrate, with dairy calf programmes as a secondary outlet. Odour is lower than the sodium salt but the material is still compared strictly on declared butyrate content.
Primary uses
- Butyrate supplementation where sodium is constrained
- Gut health programmes in poultry, piglet and calf feeds
- Premix and performance-pack manufacture
Applications
- Broiler, layer and piglet feeds
- Calf starter and milk replacer programmes
- Premix and micro-ingredient blending
Advantages
- Avoids adding sodium in electrolyte-constrained diets
- Lower odour than the equivalent sodium salt
- Available coated or uncoated depending on the release target
Limitations to consider
- Adds calcium, which must be accounted for in the mineral balance
- Butyrate content varies with coating, so comparison must be on the active
- Coating performance through pelleting varies by supplier
How to choose the right grade
- Compare on declared butyrate and account for the calcium contribution
- Decide coated or uncoated based on the intended release point
- State pelleting conditions the product must pass through
- Buyers searching for an alternative or second-source supplier should state the incumbent specification they are matching, because a like-for-like comparison depends on declared content, physical form and documentation rather than on the material name alone.
Typical grades
- Calcium butyrate ≥ 96% uncoated
- Coated calcium butyrate

- Sodium butyrate where sodium load is not constrained
- Tributyrin as a glyceride butyrate source

Procurement coverage
How to specify, order and receive Calcium butyrate (feed grade)
Written for procurement, quality and technical buyers in Canada and the United States. No numeric price, MOQ, stock or lead-time value is published — those are confirmed per shipment in the quotation and against the confirmed batch.
How buyers specify at RFQ
- Declared active content and the analytical method behind it
- Carrier, coating or dilution basis where the material is not sold pure
- Particle size, flow and dust behaviour for the blending system
- Compatibility with the other additives in the same premix
- Declared butyrate and calcium contribution
Packaging options (industry-standard)
- 25 kg bag or fibre drum — the usual micro-ingredient format
- Foil-lined or moisture-barrier packaging for hygroscopic and oxidation-sensitive actives
- Carton or pail for very low-inclusion actives handled by hand
- Packaging options and available pack sizes are confirmed with each quotation.
Storage & handling
- Store cool, dry and sealed; potency loss accelerates with heat and humidity
- Keep original moisture-barrier packaging closed until the blend is made
- Use first-in, first-out rotation and respect the declared retest or shelf-life date
Documentation available
- Technical data sheet (TDS) for the exact feed grade offered
- Safety data sheet (SDS) in the format required for Canadian import
- Certificate of analysis (COA) against the confirmed production batch
- Feed-ingredient declaration and label statements the receiving mill needs
- Documentation is confirmed per batch at quotation; availability depends on the grade and supplier offered.

Technical & procurement detail
Functional role of calcium butyrate in feed+
Calcium butyrate supplies butyrate, the preferred energy substrate of the colonocyte, in a solid salt form that is easier to handle than the free acid. Coated products delay release so that a share of the butyrate reaches the lower intestine rather than being absorbed in the foregut.
Specifying the grade+
Plain and coated products behave very differently and are not interchangeable at equal butyrate content. State whether foregut or hindgut delivery is the objective, and confirm the declared butyrate content and odour profile acceptable in your mill.
Documentation and specification+
Feed grade material is quoted against the specification your mill or premix formulation requires. Allzone confirms grade, declared content, physical form and any carrier or coating with the supplier before quoting, and shares the technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact material offered.
Frequently asked questions
Is a coated calcium butyrate available?+
Yes. Coated and uncoated products are traded and are quoted as separate specifications because release behaviour differs.
Is this quoted as feed grade material?+
Yes. Feed grade is quoted as a separate specification from food or technical grade, with its own documentation for the exact material offered.
What packaging is available?+
Packaging is confirmed with the supplier at quotation for the grade and quantity discussed.
Can you deliver to feed mills across Canada?+
Yes. LTL and FTL freight is arranged across Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada, with container-direct supply for repeat volumes.
