Why Feed CHELATED COPPER?
CHELATED COPPER SYRUP & CHELATED COPPER GEL are the result of the bringing together of the trace mineral copper, and amino acids. This process greatly enhances the absorption of the copper across the gut wall into the horses body. Inorganic copper supplements (e.g. sulphates) cannot be absorbed as easily and part of the base element is lost via excretion.
Deficiencies can occur, especially with the metal minerals. The reason why there may be a copper deficiency in a horse can either be traced back to the soil that the grass, hay or grain was grown on or some inhibitory substance that stops the uptake of copper.
Note: This product provides an easily absorbed form of copper. Copper should be
supplemented in areas where deficiencies exist. It is important to know the required amount of copper supplementation necessary in your area. If in any doubt consult your Veterinarian or Nutritionist.
