Animal Nutrition
Short and medium chain fatty acid monoglycerides are commonly added to animal feed to enhance gut health by supporting the integrity of the intestinal lining and modulating the gut microbiome. Their antimicrobial properties help control harmful bacteria, reducing the risk of disease transmission and improving overall animal welfare.

Monobutyrin
Monobutyrin is the monoester of glycerol and butyric acid. Product contains mono-, di- and tributyrin and free glycerol. Monobutyrin is used in animal feed and is also available in water-dispersible liquid formulations.
-
Monoformin
Monoformin is mono- diglyceride of hexanoic acid esterified with formic acid. It is mainly positioned for feed and liquid feed or drinking-water systems since the formulation is fully dispersible.
-
Monopropionin
Monopropionin is the monoester of glycerol and propionic acid. Product is supplied as mono-/di-/tripropionin reaction mass or blended with free propionic acid. The short-chain monoester is commonly formulated for feed and, where product directions allow, water application.
-
Monovalerin
Monovalerin is the monoester of glycerol and valeric acid. Feed-grade “valerate glyceride” products contain mono-, di- and trivalerin. It is intended mainly for feed and formulated liquid applications.
-
Tributyrin
Tributyrin is the triglyceride of butyric acid. It is an oil-soluble, concentrated butyrate precursor used mainly in feed, premixes and emulsified liquid systems.
-
Trivalerin
Trivalerin is the triglyceride of valeric acid. It is a concentrated, lipophilic valerate precursor intended primarily for feed or an emulsified liquid delivery system.
