ButiPEARL™ Poultry
Proven to Improve Profitability in Boilers
Broilers fed with ButiPEARL™ during the whole production cycle (42 days of age) showed an increased feed conversion ratio and final body weight.
Performance Data for Broiler
A total of 240 male Ross 308 chicks, at one day old, were divided into 3 experimental groups.
| Treatment Dose | Final Body Weight (g) | Feed Conversion Ratio | Villi Height / Crypt Depth (µm) | ROI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Negative Control | 2,616 | 1.66a | 4.38b | - |
| ButiPEARL™ 0.03% | 2,741 | 1.59b | 5.20a | 13.1 |
| Protected Sodium Butyrate 0.1% | 2,661 | 1.60b | 5.42a | 1.2 |
Table 1. Zootechnical performance & intestinal histo-morphological parameters in broiler chickens fed with diets containing different butyrate sources.
Results showed that supplementation with ButiPEARL™ at less than half the dose of the Protected Sodium Butyrate gave better feed conversion ratio (p<0.05), and higher return on investment (ROI*).

Asian Commercial Trial
A commercial trial was conducted in Asia using day-old Cobb chicks.
| Treatment Dose | Average Daily Gain (g) | Feed Conversion Ratio | European Broiler Performance Index (EPI) | Intestinal Lesion Score (ILS) | Mortality (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Avilamycin | 48.85 | 1.687 | 285 | 0.40 | 1.59 |
| ButiPEARL™ 0.03% | 49.82 | 1.667 | 293 | 0.20 | 1.43 |
| Difference | + 0.97 | - 0.01 |
+ 8.00 | - 0.16 | - 0.20 |
Table 2. Difference in performance and lesion scoring parameters in broiler chickens fed with diets containing either ButiPEARL™ or Avilamycin.
ButiPEARL™ was used to compare against Avilamycin in terms of performance improvement. Overall performance of broilers fed with diets containing
ButiPEARL™ was similar or slightly better than that of broilers fed with diets containing Avilamycin. At the same time, Cobb chicks exhibited a lower intestinal lesion score and a much higher European broiler performance index when fed with diets containing ButiPEARL™.
ButiPEARL™ was able to maintain good animal performance in the absence of Avilamycin, an antibiotic commonly used as growth promoting agent in feed in an unchallenged condition.
