Manganese Hydroxychloride - Feed Ingredient

Manganese hydroxychloride is a highly bioavailable source of manganese, an essential trace mineral required for enzyme function, bone development, and carbohydrate metabolism in horses. It is a form of manganese that consists of hydroxyl and chloride groups, offering improved stability and absorption compared to traditional inorganic sources such as manganese sulfate or manganese oxide.

In equine nutrition, manganese is necessary for the synthesis of chondroitin sulfate, a key component of cartilage and joint health. It also plays a role in antioxidant enzyme systems and energy metabolism. Manganese hydroxychloride is included in feed formulations to ensure adequate manganese intake, particularly in diets based on forages that may be deficient in this mineral.

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