Comparative effects of dietary sodium butyrate and tributyrin on broiler chickens’ performance, gene expression, intestinal histomorphometry, blood indices, and litter

Abstract Sodium butyrate and tributyrin are known to enhance broiler chicken performance. In this study, 1,000 Arbor Acres broiler chicks were assigned to four dietary treatments (250 birds each; six replicates of 40–42 birds): a control basal diet (CON), or the same diet supplemented with either 50...
