Amprolium Hydrochloride
Amprolium Hydrochloride is a white, odorless, crystalline powder used primarily as a coccidiostat, which means it inhibits the growth of Eimeria species (protozoan parasites) responsible for coccidiosis in poultry and other animals. It works by mimicking thiamine (vitamin B1), thereby competitively inhibiting thiamine uptake by the parasite, disrupting its metabolism, and preventing its proliferation. Amprolium HCl is widely used in veterinary medicine, especially in poultry farming, and is often included in feed or drinking water. It complies with BP 2008 and USP 32 pharmacopeial standards.
Cobalt Carbonate
Cobalt Carbonate is a rose-red to purplish powder with a metal content of approximately 46% cobalt by weight. It is an inorganic compound primarily used as a source of cobalt, either as a raw material in chemical synthesis or as a micronutrient in various formulations. It is slightly soluble in water and decomposes upon heating, releasing carbon dioxide and leaving cobalt oxide (CoO). Cobalt Carbonate is used in ceramics, catalysts, animal nutrition, batteries, and metal surface treatments. Its controlled release of cobalt makes it useful in both industrial and biological applications.
DL-Methionine Feed Grade
DL-Methionine Feed Grade is a synthetic, racemic mixture of the amino acid methionine, consisting of equal parts D- and L-isomers. It is an essential sulfur-containing amino acid widely used as a nutritional supplement in animal feed formulations. DL-Methionine plays a critical role in protein synthesis, growth, and metabolic functions in livestock and poultry. This feed-grade quality ensures high purity (minimum 99%) and suitability for inclusion in feed blends to enhance growth performance, improve feed efficiency, and prevent methionine deficiency-related disorders.
Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom Salt)
Magnesium Sulphate Epsom Salt, commonly known as Epsom Salt, is an inorganic salt composed of magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen with the formula MgSO₄. It typically appears as colorless or white crystalline granules and is highly soluble in water. In its heptahydrate form (MgSO₄·7H₂O), it is widely used in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, food, and industrial applications. Epsom Salt is valued for its muscle relaxant, laxative, and magnesium supplementation properties, as well as for its role in improving soil fertility and plant growth.
Mineral lick ( Rock Salt)
Mineral Lick, commonly known as Rock Salt, is a naturally occurring mineral primarily composed of sodium chloride.
