Researchers at the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil evaluated duodenal development of Holstein calves supplemented with 4 g/d of sodium butyrate (Adimix® Easy) at 15 and 30 days after birth. Intestinal villi length and crypt depth at d 30 were increased for calves supplemented with sodium butyrate.
Calves that did not receive sodium butyrate had more cases of diarrhea, and markers of gene expression indicated intestinal tissue was also less mature with more evidence of tissue repair. The researchers concluded sodium butyrate supplementation resulted in greater intestinal development.
Based on 2022 American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) abstract:
2349W Sodium butyrate improves duodenal development even in calves with neonatal diarrhea.
