Copper Proteinate - Feed Ingredient

Copper proteinate is an organic trace mineral supplement in which copper is chelated (bound) to a protein, typically an amino acid or peptide. This chelation enhances copper’s bioavailability, allowing for better absorption and utilization compared to inorganic forms like copper sulfate or copper oxide.

In equine nutrition, copper is essential for connective tissue development, red blood cell formation, immune function, and coat pigmentation. It also plays a role in joint health by supporting cartilage formation. Copper proteinate is commonly included in horse feeds and supplements to ensure adequate copper intake, particularly in growing horses and those with high performance demands.

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