Equine America Copper Plus
Copper, which is present in all body cells, aids in the absorption and
utilisation of iron, for blood cell production. Copper is also
necessary for several enzymes involved in vital processes, as well as
regulating the normal pigmentation of hair.
Horses are very
tolerant of copper but over supplementation can interfere with the
absorption of zinc and iron. A lack of copper can show as anaemia, poor
growth, hair depigmentation, weight loss and some bone disorders.
If
you are concerned that your horses are suffering from any of these
symptoms, seek veterinary advice, as these symptoms may be a result of
a condition unrelated to a copper deficiency.
