Research Progress of Sodium Butyrate in Ruminant Nutrition
Sodium butyrate has various biological effects on ruminants,such as promoting the growth of rumen and other digestive tract epithelial cells,anti-inflammatory,anti-oxidation and so on,which can improve the nutrient digestibility and production performance of ruminants,as well as anti-coccycidium,etc.This paper reviews the biological effects of sodium butyrate and its research progress in ruminants,in order to provide theoretical and practical reference for the application of sodium butyrate in ruminants.
