This green crystalline powder is the raw material used to make animal feed additives and fungicides. Processed into an ultra-fine powder and given an additive, copper oxychloride can become a wettable powder for protecting plants from fungi and bacterium. It allows for no drug resistance.
As an important trace element, copper oxychloride is widely used in animal feed to promote healthy animal growth. Kangtai's copper oxychloride is known for its high purity and low metal content.

Applications
1. Copper supplement for animal food: compound feed, fodder, forage.
2. Fungicide production chemical: raw material for Copper oxychloride wettable powder.
3. Agricultural fungicide, wood preservative raw material.
4. Pharmaceutical intermediates.
5. Used to absorb carbon dioxide in the air.

Compared to Copper Sulfate
1. For use in animal feed, copper oxychloride is more popular than copper sulfate as it contains more copper and costs less to transport and store.
2. Copper oxychloride is insoluble in water and doesn't absorb moisture, eliminating the damage that inorganic compounds may bring to the feed nutrients. Feed grade copper oxychloride helps to improve feed conversion rate. With an excellent antibacterial effect, copper oxychloride can improve animal immune systems and their ability to resist diseases.
3. The amount of copper and soluble copper in animal feces is reduced, making it safer for the environment.
