best candidates for dietary supplementation.
Although, SCFA such as acetate and propionate have
been successfully used as water sanitizers, there is little
information available on butyrate in poultry. Sakata (1987)
reported that infusion of butyrate into fistulated rats
increased the proliferation of crypt cells in both the small
and large intestines. Sharma et al. (1995) suggested that the
effect on crypt cell growth might reflect changes in the gut
microflora, which is known to be a major modulator of
epithelial cell activity. However, no such information is
available in poultry. Hence, further studies are needed on
the effects of butyrate supplementation in young broilers.
The present study was therefore; conducted to study the
graded levels of butyrate supplementation on performance,
GI tract health and carcass characteristics in young broiler
chickens.
