Butafosfan is a phosphororganic supplement that is given, most commonly with cyanocobalamin, to cattle, swine, horses, and poultry for the prevention or treatment of phosphorus deficiencies. Butafosfan also plays a vital role in hepatic carbohydrate metabolism. In addition, butafosfan has been regarded as an antistress agent in combination with vitamin B12. Studies with butafosfan in different animals have shown that it improved general health status by stimulating feed intake, immune system, and digestive function. Butafosfan has been reported for the treatment of metabolic disorders caused by stress or nutrition problems in various species.
