Short and Medium-Chain Fatty Acids

Feedéal’s SCFA & MCFA solutions

Our Short and Medium-Chain Fatty Acids

Medium-chain fatty acids are dietary fats whose carbon atom chains contain approximately 8 to 12 carbon atoms. Short-chain fatty acids are molecules with a maximum of 6 carbon atoms.

Our partner Proviron offers esterified fatty acid products composed exclusively of monoglycerides, the only chemically active form against bacteria. The advantage of monoglycerides is their pH independence. This means they do not dissociate in the stomach and remain fully active throughout the entire digestive tract.

Pure ML35G delivers α-monolaurin in a vermicelli format, making it easy for farmers to use directly. Its original formulation prevents clumping.

Feedéal’s ML65 product contains a high level of α-monolaurin, an element that enhances digestibility. This product can be used as a low-inclusion supplement in the animal’s base feed for continuous dosing, thereby ensuring the availability of α-monolaurin in the intestine and supporting beneficial growth rates. It also provides bacterial control, especially against Gram-positive bacteria (such as Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Staphylococcus), improving animal performance and reducing mortality rates.

MBs is composed of monobutyrin on a silica carrier. This solution serves a dual purpose: delivering butyric acid to nourish enterocytes and controlling Gram-negative pathogens (E. coli and Brachyspira). Thanks to esterification, the product is neutral in taste and smell.

TBs contains tributyrin on a silica carrier, aiming to deliver a high quantity of butyric acid (also neutral in taste and smell) to support optimal villi development and maintain good intestinal health.

OptiGut is a combination of α-monolaurin and monobutyrin. This solution enables control over both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, while simplifying production by requiring only one reference product at the factory to manage all pathogens and ensure gut health.

Capripro L is a concentrated blend of short- and medium-chain fatty acids in liquid form, which can be directly added to the mixer. This solution also targets both Gram- and Gram+ bacteria, offering a single-factory reference product to manage pathogen control and promote gut health.

Butipro L is concentrated monobutyrin in liquid form, designed to deliver a large amount of butyric acid to nourish enterocytes and control Gram-negative pathogens (E. coli, Brachyspira). It is also neutral in taste and odor.
