Sodium Butyrate / Coated Sodium Butyrate — Feed Grade
Allzone Trading supplies feed grade sodium butyrate and coated sodium butyrate to feed mills and premix producers in Ontario, Quebec and across Canada. Coated and uncoated products behave differently in handling and in the animal, and are quoted as separate specifications with their own supplier documentation.

Buyer intent coverage
Sodium butyrate (coated, feed grade) — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
Sodium butyrate is bought for gut health programmes and is almost always coated, because uncoated material is absorbed high in the tract and smells strongly enough to create handling problems at the mill. Canadian demand comes from Ontario and Quebec broiler and piglet producers running antibiotic-reduction programmes and from the premix houses supplying them. The coating level and the declared butyrate content define the product; release behaviour claims belong to the supplier's dossier.
Primary uses
- Gut health programmes in broiler and piglet feeds
- Antibiotic-reduction and post-weaning nutrition strategies
- Premix and performance-pack manufacture
Applications
- Broiler starter and piglet feeds
- Premix and micro-ingredient blending
- Pelleted and mash feed production
Advantages
- Coating reduces odour and improves handling relative to uncoated material
- Available at several butyrate concentrations to suit inclusion targets
- Established position in antibiotic-reduction programmes
Limitations to consider
- Declared butyrate varies widely between coated products, so price per tonne is meaningless alone
- Coating quality and pelleting stability differ by supplier
- Uncoated material carries a strong and persistent odour
How to choose the right grade
- Compare offers on declared butyrate content, not product tonnage
- Specify the coating type and the pelleting conditions it must survive
- State the target inclusion per tonne of finished feed
- 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
- Fat-coated sodium butyrate 30%
- Coated sodium butyrate 54%
- Uncoated sodium butyrate ≥ 98%
Comparable materials — how Sodium butyrate (coated, feed grade) sits against alternatives
- Calcium butyrate where a non-sodium salt is preferred
- Tributyrin where a glyceride form is specified

Procurement coverage
How to specify, order and receive Sodium butyrate (coated, 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
- Coating type and declared butyrate content
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 sodium butyrate / coated sodium butyrate+
Sodium butyrate is the sodium salt of butyric acid, used in animal nutrition as a short-chain fatty acid source. Uncoated material has a strong characteristic odour and is released early in the digestive tract; coated products use a fat or matrix coating to reduce odour in the mill and to change where the butyrate is released.
Coating changes both handling and function+
The odour of uncoated butyrate is a genuine mill-floor issue, and coating addresses it. Coating also changes the release profile and lowers the butyrate content per kilogram, so the coated and uncoated forms are never substituted at the same inclusion rate.
Coating type should be stated+
Fat-coated and matrix-coated products differ in their behaviour through pelleting and in the gut. State which type your nutritionist specified and the matching supplier product and documentation will be requested.
Documentation and specification+
Feed grade material is quoted against the specification your mill or premix formulation requires. Allzone confirms grade, physical form, carrier and any coating with the supplier before quoting, and shares the technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact material offered.
Frequently asked questions
Do you supply coated and uncoated forms?+
Both are available from suppliers and quoted as separate specifications, each with its own declared butyrate content.
Will the coated form survive pelleting?+
Pelleting stability depends on coating type and process conditions. Share your pelleting parameters and the supplier will advise on product selection.
What packaging is available?+
Packaging is confirmed with the supplier at quotation for the grade and quantity discussed.
Can I request a technical data sheet?+
Yes — the supplier technical data sheet and safety data sheet are shared for the exact grade quoted.
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.
