Tributyrin supplementation in fish and crustacean nutrition: A review

Abstract: Short-chain fatty acids, including butyrate and its derived forms, have been used as dietary supplements to reverse or ameliorate the potential negative effects of plantderived ingredients in aquaculture diets, and have a multitude of well-demonstrated physiological and health enhancing effects in mammals and livestock. Tributyrin, a butyric acid derivate, has been assessed as a supplement in the diets of farmed animals, with promising results in several species. In fish and crustaceans, the dietary inclusion … Show more

“…The fact that dietary tributyrin or butyrate was capable to suppress the Vibrio spp. growth in the hepatopancreas and intestine of the shrimp while the ability to improve the apparent nutrient digestibility was either weak (this study) or inconsistent (Yarahmadi et al, 2022) support the antimicrobial hypothesis over the nutrient utilization enhancement hypothesis as a major mode of actions of tributyrin or butyrate in promoting the shrimp's health (Lückstädt & Mellor, 2011;Ng & Koh, 2017;Palma et al, 2023).…”

“…SCFAs are carboxylic acids with fewer than six carbon atoms and are naturally produced by microbial fermentation (anaerobic metabolism) of the dietary fibers (indigestible carbohydrates) in the colon or posterior region of the intestine (Tran et al, 2020). Acetate (C2), propionate (C3), and butyrate (C4) are the main SCFAs found in the digestive tracts of humans (Palma et al, 2023), fish (Tran et al, 2020), and shrimp (Gao et al, 2019). These organic acids are the main energy source for the gut epithelium and can enhance the growth of intestinal epithelial cells (Hoseinifar et al, 2017; Ng & Koh, 2017).…”
