Copper Hydroxychloride - Feed Ingredient

Copper hydroxychloride is a bioavailable form of copper used in equine nutrition as a trace mineral supplement. It is a stable compound that provides copper in a form that is less reactive with other dietary components compared to traditional copper sulfate or copper oxide. This stability helps improve copper absorption and utilization in the horse’s body.

Copper is an essential trace mineral involved in enzymatic functions, connective tissue development, red blood cell formation, and melanin synthesis. Adequate copper intake is particularly important for growing horses, pregnant mares, and those with high-performance demands. Copper hydroxychloride is commonly included in fortified feeds and mineral supplements to ensure proper dietary intake.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Copper Hydroxychloride as an ingredient.
