Iron(II) sulfate monohydrate

Ferrous Sulfate Monohydrate (FeSO₄·H₂O) is a high-purity, off-white to buff-colored powder, representing a concentrated source of bioavailable iron. It serves as a highly effective and stable iron supplement in animal feed, particularly for preventing and correcting iron-deficiency anemia in swine, poultry, and young animals, supporting critical physiological functions like hemoglobin formation and oxygen transport. Compared to the heptahydrate form, the monohydrate version offers superior stability with significantly lower moisture content, resulting in reduced caking, longer shelf life, better flowability, and minimal impact on feed vitamin stability. Its fine particle size ensures excellent homogeneity in premixes and complete feeds. Beyond nutrition, it is also utilized in industrial applications such as water treatment (as a coagulant and reducing agent) and as a precursor in chemical manufacturing.
