Shiv Chem Industries Copper EDTA is a nutritional supplement used to address or prevent copper deficiencies in livestock and poultry.
INDICATIONS
- Copper Supplementation: Used in veterinary and poultry feed formulations to ensure animals receive adequate trace copper for metabolic health.
- Prevention of Deficiency Symptoms: Helps prevent issues such as stunted growth, skeletal abnormalities, and immune system dysfunction.
- Treatment of Heavy Metal Poisoning: Acts as a chelating agent to help eliminate certain toxic metals like lead or manganese from the body.
- Correction of Hypocuprosis: Indicated for managing copper insufficiency in ruminants (cattle and deer) to support nerve, bone, and growth functions.
- Stable Bioavailable Source: Specifically used in pharmaceutical-grade formulations where a stable, non-reactive copper source is required to avoid interference with other nutrients in the feed.
ADMINISTRATION
- Subcutaneous Injection: In cattle, sheep, and deer, chelated copper is most commonly given by subcutaneous (under the skin) injection, usually in the anterior (front) half of the neck.
- Detoxification: It is also used as a chelating agent to help eliminate heavy metals like lead or manganese from an animal’s body.
- Ophthalmic Use: In specific cases, it may be used in eye drops to treat copper deposits in the eyes.
- Micronutrient Supplement: It can be integrated into pharmaceutical-grade animal feed or stable copper-based formulations to boost overall plant and animal health.
