Description
What is feed grade Ferrous Sulphate?
Feed Grade Ferrous Sulphate is a specially manufactured inorganic salt, primarily in the form Ferrous Sulphate Heptahydrate and Monohydrate, that is used as a nutritional additive in animal feed. Its primary purpose is to provide a highly bioavailable and economical source of iron (Fe) for livestock, poultry, and other animals.
Core Features
1.Appearance: Typically light bluish-green crystals or a pale greenish powder.
2.Solubility: Highly soluble in water.
3.Bioavailability: The iron it contains (ferrous iron, Fe²⁺) is in a form that animals can easily absorb and utilize through their digestive systems, making it highly effective.
Why is it Added to Animal Feed?
Iron is an essential micronutrient critical for numerous physiological functions:
1.Oxygen Transport: It is the core component of hemoglobin in red blood cells, which carries oxygen from the lungs to all body tissues, and myoglobin in muscles, which stores oxygen.
2.Prevention of Anemia: This is its most crucial role. Without adequate iron, animals cannot produce enough healthy red blood cells, leading to iron deficiency anemia.
Newborn Piglets: They are born with very low iron reserves and grow rapidly. The sow's milk is low in iron, making them highly susceptible to anemia. Feed grade ferrous sulphate is often provided via oral supplements or injections shortly after birth.
3.Energy Metabolism: Iron is a key component of enzymes involved in cellular energy production.
4.Immune Function: Adequate iron levels are necessary for a properly functioning immune system.
5. meat Quality: In meat-producing animals, sufficient iron ensures the development of myoglobin, which gives meat its characteristic desirable red color.

Application
1. Primary Applications
Prevention and Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia: Iron is essential for synthesizing hemoglobin and myoglobin. Deficiency can lead to hypoxia, stunted growth, and weakened immunity in animals.
Iron Fortification: Supplements iron deficiency in base feed ingredients to ensure balanced iron nutrition in diets.
Improvement of Carcass Quality: Adequate iron ensures sufficient myoglobin levels in muscles, enhancing the desirable red color of meat (e.g., pork, beef).
Support of Immune Function: Iron is involved in the composition of various enzymes critical for immune cell activity and disease resistance.
2. Application in Different Animals
Piglets: Critical for preventing anemia due to low iron reserves at birth. Often administered orally or via injection.
Poultry: Added to feed to support hemoglobin production, egg production, and overall health.
Ruminants: Supplemented to prevent iron deficiency, though excess iron may interfere with copper and zinc absorption.
Aquaculture: Essential for fish and shrimp to support blood cell formation and oxygen transport.
Pets: Included in pet food to maintain health, vitality, and coat quality.

FAQ
How is feed grade ferrous sulphate administered?
Oral supplementation: Mixed directly into feed or drinking water.
Injection: Used for piglets shortly after birth (e.g., iron dextran injections).
Premixes: Blended with other trace minerals and carriers for uniform distribution in compound feed.
What is the recommended dosage?
Dosage varies by animal species and growth stage:
Piglets: 150-200 mg iron/head/day (oral).
Poultry: 40-80 mg/kg of complete feed.
Ruminants: 50-100 mg/kg dry matter.
Always follow nutritional guidelines to avoid deficiency or toxicity.
How should it be stored?
Store in a cool, dry, sealed environment to prevent:
Moisture absorption (hygroscopic).
Oxidation of ferrous iron (Fe²⁺) to less bioavailable ferric iron (Fe³⁺).
