USES:

The most common use of cobalt sulphate is in cattle. Cattle synthesize vitamin B12 from the cobalt and hence it is required in cattle and horses.

CHEMICAL COMPOSITION:

Cobalt Sulphate has a chemical formula of CoSO4 and Cobalt in this compound exhibits a valency of 2. As the chemical formula suggests, this compound contains Cobalt, Sulphur, and Oxygen. The existence of Cobalt sulfate is in multiple forms such as anhydrous CoSO4, monohydrate CoSO4 (H2O), hexahydrate CoSO4 (H2O)6, and heptahydrate CoSO4 (H2O)7.

PRODUCT APPLICATION:

Vitamin B12 is a vitamin that is very important in the synthesis of DNA and its deficiency can lead to anemia and numerous other problems. Ruminants and horses have certain bacteria in their gut that convert the ingested cobalt into vitamin B12. Cobalt Sulphate is an important supplement that can be added to the diet of cattle and horses. In this way, an adequate amount of cobalt can be provided to the animal body effectively.
