enhanced performance, particularly when supplementing butyric acid in its sodium salt form.
Butyric acid is naturally produced and
present within the intestine of both carnivores and herbivores fish (Holben et al.
2002; Mountfort 2002). It is very well known
how the anti-inflammatory effect of butyric
acid can prevent the presence of enteritis in
salmon when part of the dietary fishmeal is
substituted by soybean meal. This additive
could therefore be useful to help reducing the
diet costs when fishmeal prices or availability
become unpractical, facilitating a higher inclu-
In another study, butyric acid was compared against the most common SCFA exhibiting a greater inhibition capacity (University
of Santiago and Norel SA), less quantity of
butyric was needed to inhibit the same concentration of pathogens.
Knowing that sodium butyrate might be
of great help in the important shrimp farming
industry, Norel wanted to test the additive
on-the-field and a trial was conducted in a
commercial shrimp farm in Honduras.
Gustor Aqua (protected sodium butyrate)
was tested to determine the effect of the
additive in performance parameters. The initial density was around 31 shrimp/m2. Ponds
supplemented with Gustor Aqua completed
the fattening period with 35 percent more
biomass, the final yield (kg/ha) in those ponds
was 26 percent higher. Feed conversion ratio
was also influenced by adding the additive,
being 2,033 in the control ponds and 1,590
in the sodium butyrate supplemented group.
Gustor Aqua positively influenced animals
performance and in addition, their health
status is boosted as the higher survival rate
reflects. The combination of both variables
yields better economic results.
