Features of Tribasic Copper Chloride (TBCC)
1
Stable nature with minimal oxidative damage; weaker oxidative impact on fat-soluble vitamins and fats compared to copper sulfate.
2
High copper content; insoluble in water but soluble in neutral salt and acid solutions.
3
Resistant to moisture absorption and agglomeration during production, ensuring easy mixing.
4
Rapidly dissolves in the digestive tract, significantly improving copper absorption and utilization.
5
High copper ion content and utilization rate; allows for reduced copper addition in practical applications, lowering fecal copper excretion.
Function & Research Insights
Growth Promotion: Cromwell et al. (1998) demonstrated that TBCC is as effective as copper sulfate for weaned piglets. Notably, 150ppm of TBCC outperformed 200ppm of copper sulfate.
Vitamin Preservation: Hooge et al. found that diets supplemented with TBCC maintained significantly higher Vitamin E levels compared to those using CuSO4.
Safety Profile: Luo Xugang et al. (2008) showed that the toxic threshold for copper from TBCC is 2-3 times higher than copper sulfate, making it a safer additive.
Bioavailability: Miles et al. (1998) reported a relative bioavailability of 112% for TBCC in broilers. Liu et al. (2005) found a biological potency of 134% in laying hens compared to copper sulfate.
* Added to animal feed as a copper supplement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the copper content in Minexo C (TBCC)?
Minexo C contains a high copper content of ≥58.12% (Cu) and an ingredient concentration of ≥98% as Cu2(OH)3Cl.
Why is TBCC preferred over copper sulfate in animal feed?
TBCC is more stable, causes less oxidative damage to vitamins and fats, and has a higher biological potency (up to 134% in some species) compared to copper sulfate.
Is TBCC safe for animals?
Yes, research indicates that TBCC is safer and more reliable than copper sulfate, with a toxic copper threshold that is 2-3 times higher.
Does TBCC dissolve in water?
No, TBCC is insoluble in water. However, it is soluble in neutral salts and acid solutions, allowing it to dissolve rapidly in the animal's digestive tract.
What are the storage requirements for TBCC?
TBCC should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark environment with good ventilation. It has a shelf life of 24 months.
What is the recommended dosage for piglets?
For piglets, the recommended dosage of Minexo C (TBCC) is between 170-210 g/MT.
