Ferrous Sulfate - Feed Ingredient

Ferrous Sulfate is an iron salt used in various feed formulations to supply bioavailable iron, an essential mineral necessary for oxygen transport, energy production, and enzyme function. This crystalline compound is highly soluble, ensuring that when included in diets, its iron is readily absorbed and utilized by the body. It is commonly employed in nutritional supplements for species with identified iron deficiencies, contributing to the synthesis of hemoglobin and supporting overall metabolic health.

In equine nutrition, however, supplemental iron is typically unnecessary as horses generally obtain adequate levels of iron from their forage-based diets. Excess iron may interfere with the absorption of other essential minerals and could potentially lead to nutritional imbalances. Therefore, the use of Ferrous Sulfate in horse feeds should be avoided unless a specific deficiency is diagnosed and supplementation is implemented under the strict guidance of a veterinarian.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Ferrous Sulfate as an ingredient.
