Description

Butafosfan CAS NO 17316-67-5 is an organophosphorus compound, specifically a phosphonic acid derivative, recognized for its role as a source of bioavailable phosphorus. This compound is valued for its ability to support metabolic processes and cellular energy transfer in biological systems. It is primarily utilized in the veterinary pharmaceutical and animal nutrition industries for the formulation of injectable solutions and feed supplements aimed at improving animal health and performance.

Application

• Veterinary Pharmaceuticals: A key active ingredient in injectable solutions for the treatment of metabolic disorders and to support convalescence in livestock and companion animals.
• Animal Feed Additives: Incorporated into premixes and mineral supplements to correct phosphorus deficiencies and support bone development, growth, and overall vitality.
• Metabolic Stimulant: Used to enhance energy metabolism, particularly in situations of stress, fatigue, or recovery from illness in animals.
• Dairy and Livestock Health: Supports milk production, fertility, and general herd health management programs.
• Poultry Nutrition: Applied in formulations to improve skeletal strength and feed conversion efficiency in poultry farming.
• Aquaculture: Used in aquatic feed to promote growth and health in farmed fish and shrimp.
