Whether you are formulating for poultry, swine or aquaculture, our solution offers economical iron supplementation without compromising quality.

What Is Ferrous Sulfate Powder?

The product is an iron(II) compound with high solubility. It is mostly utilised as trace element supplement in animal nutrition. It is a light green to bluish-green crystalline powder . It is used as a reference standard for iron bioavailability .

It occurs as two hydrated forms, heptahydrate (FeSO 4 .7H 2 O) and monohydrate (FeSO 4 .H 2 O). The monohydrate form is more stable, with a higher concentration of iron, which is appropriate for intensive manufacturing systems.

It is freely soluble in water and therefore allows uniform distribution in feed premixes and in drinking water applications. It has been shown to be effective in all livestock species and is a key element in modern animal health management.

Key Benefits for Your Feed Formulation

Highest Bioavailability

Your animals absorb ferrous iron better than any other inorganic iron source. This additional absorption contributes directly to haemoglobin synthesis and the transportation of oxygen throughout the body.

Proven Anemia Prevention

Rapidly growing piglets and chicks need lots of iron to support their quick growth. Our Ferrous Sulfate Powder is a crucial supplement to avoid iron-deficiency anaemia, lower mortality and promote steady weight gain.

Unparalleled Cost Efficiency

You get the lowest cost per unit of iron that is accessible on the feed ingredient market. You don't have to sacrifice quality or efficacy to gain this economic advantage.

Universal Application Species

One product to meet all your formulation needs for poultry, swine, ruminants, aquaculture and companion animals. This flexibility allows for easier procurement of ingredients and inventory.

Superior Handling Properties

The powder readily integrates into your existing feed processing systems. It is compatible with normal mixing equipment and entirely soluble in water based applications.

Primary Applications in Animal Nutrition

Prevention of Iron-Deficiency Anemia

Newborn pigs are born with low iron stores. Ferrous sulphate supplementation reduces the development of anaemia in the key early growth periods.

Haemoglobin Production Support

Iron is the major component of haemoglobin molecules. If you supplement properly, your animals will have the best oxygen-carrying capability in their blood.

Immune Function Enhancement

Iron is required for the normal growth and function of immunological cells. Good supplementation makes your herd more illness resistant and generally health resilient.

Growth Performance Optimization

Young, growing animals, with their rapid tissue growth, need large quantities of iron. Supplementation can meet these demands, immediately translating into increased feed conversion ratios and daily weight gains.

Aquaculture Production Systems 

In extensive aquaculture, fish and shrimp do not have access to natural sources of iron. Formulated meals include added ferrous sulphate to provide these species with the appropriate trace mineral nutrition.

FAQ

Q: What is ferrous sulfate used for in animal feed?

A: It is the main iron supplement for prevention of anaemia, haemoglobin production, oxygen transport, immunological function and growth for all animal species.

Q: How much iron is in it?

A: Heptahydrate 19.7 Fe. Monohydrate 30.0 Fe. The monohydrate is higher in concentration and more stable in storage.

Q: Is ferrous sulphate superior than other iron?

A: It has the best bio-availability at the lowest cost and is the reference standard for iron absorption. Chelated versions are absorbed a little better but are far more costly.

Q: How much do I need to take?

A: Typical inclusion rates range from 50–250 ppm of total feed, depending on animal species and basal diet composition. We recommend working with a qualified nutritionist for precise formulation.

Q: How should I store this product?

A: Store in a cool, dry place (≤25°C) in tightly sealed containers. The powder is hygroscopic — moisture exposure causes oxidation to less bioavailable ferric forms. Shelf life extends 1–2 years under proper conditions.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: We supply 25 kg bags, 50 kg drums, and 500–1,000 kg big bags. Custom packaging configurations are available upon request.

Q: Does it survive feed pelleting?

A: Yes, it remains heat stable under standard pelleting conditions. Some oxidation may occur with excessive moisture or prolonged heat exposure.

Q: Is it safe? Are there any side effects?

A: It's completely safe at recommended inclusion levels. Excessive iron supplementation can cause toxicity, including growth depression, liver damage, and diarrhea. Always follow established formulation guidelines.

Q: What certifications do you provide?

A: We supply FAMI-QS, ISO 22000, GMP, FCC, and GB/T documentation. Halal and Kosher certificates are available upon request.

Q: Which animals benefit most?

A: All animals benefit, particularly fast-growing piglets susceptible to anemia, broiler and layer chicks, and aquaculture species raised in intensive production systems.
