Effect of Partially Protected Sodium Butyrate on Performance, Digestive Organs, Intestinal Villi and E. coli Development in Broilers Chickens (2014, background): “Also, high dose of sodium butyrate increased jejunum and small intestines lengths (Mahdavi and Torki, 2009).”
Effect of organic acid blend and Bacillus subtilis alone or in combination on growth traits, blood biochemical and antioxidant status in broilers exposed to Salmonella typhimurium challenge during the starter phase (2017, background): “No significant effect on blood metabolites, particularly glucose, in birds fed with organic acid has been previously reported (Mahdavi & Torki 2009; Adil et al. 2010).”
Sodium butyrate in chicken nutrition: the dynamics of performance, gut microbiota, gut morphology, and immunity (2016, background): “As sodium butyrate is converted to butyric acid after ingestion, it is preferably absorbed by enterocytes as a source of energy (Mahdavi and Torki, 2009).”
