Iron sulphate

For animal nutrition

Iron, what’s the point ?

Ferrous sulphate is used to cover the daily iron requirements of animals. Indeed, iron is an essential trace element for healthy and well-fed animals; as a constituent of hemoglobin, it ensures the oxygen transport to the organs. The selective intake of iron sulphate helps to ensure this central function.

Feed dosage

Iron sulphate monohydrate is an effective iron source for all animal species and categories.

The Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in animal feed (FEEDAP) estimated that for piglets a daily maximum dose of 250 mg of iron is considered safe up to one week before weaning.

Because of insufficient data, the Panel is not in a position to derive a safe iron concentration in feed for horses and fish; as a provisional measure, the current value for other animal species (750mg/kg) could be applied to the dietary intake of iron for those animals.
