ButraCal 90 (Calcium Butyrate Granules ≥90%)
High-purity calcium butyrate granules — butyrate and calcium in one concentrated form.
Calcium butyrate granules — the calcium salt alternative with lower hygroscopicity and a milder odor profile than sodium butyrate, suited to humid climates and longer storage.
ButraCal 90 is high-purity calcium butyrate in granular form with a dry-basis content of ≥90%. It supplies butyrate and calcium in one product: butyrate supports gut development, intestinal barrier integrity and the balance of intestinal flora, while calcium improves bone strength and supports protein synthesis and muscle growth.
The granular form is free-flowing and low in dust, making it easy to handle, dose and incorporate into premixes and complete feed. With its high assay and moderate sour-milk odor, it is a cost-effective way to deliver a concentrated butyrate and calcium payload across swine, poultry and aquaculture diets.
