During
the Eurotier 2012 held in November feed additives producer Perstorp officially
launched ProPhorce™ SR a novel form of butyric acid with specific release
throughout the digestive tract. ProPhorce™ SR has all of the well-known
benefits of butyric acid in terms of digestion and intestinal health, but none
of its smell issues. These desirable product properties are realised because
ProPhorce™ SR consists of butyrins, which are glycerol esters of butyric acid.
The esterifying process ensures the absence of the typical butyric acid odour
and a superior delivery of the active components throughout the digestive
tract.
“As a
matter of fact, at Eurotier we focused primarily on the promotion of both our
products using this esterification technology” states Edwin van Kol, Global
Marketing manager at Perstorp’s feed additive division. “In addition to the
esterified butyric acid that is ProPhorce™ SR, we have also put a strong
emphasis on another recent addition to our product portfolio that uses the same
esterifying process. Propionic acid is the most commonly used mould inhibitor
for feed and grains. ProSid™ MI 700 is a buffered form of propionic acid that
also uses the esterifying technology to greatly reduce the corrosivity of propionic
acid and to tackle the odour issues. The reduced corrosivity means that there
are no ADR restrictions to ProSid™ MI 700. Because it evaporates slower than
pure propionic acid the effects of ProSid™ MI 700 against moulds actually last
longer than those of pure propionic acid.”
The
introduction of these products to the market is a substantial step for feed
additives and grain preservatives in general. Perstorp is confident that these
products and further developments in these fields will solidify their position
as a reliable and innovative supplier for the feed industry.
