Features of Tribasic Copper Chloride (TBCC)
1
The product is stable in nature and has little oxidative damage. Its oxidative damage to fat soluble vitamins and fats is weaker than that of 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 the production process, making it easy to mix.
4
Rapidly dissolved in the digestive tract, significantly improving the absorption and utilization of copper.
5
High copper ion content and high utilization rate. In practical application, copper addition can be reduced, thereby reducing fecal copper excretion.
Functions & Research Insights
• Growth Promotion: Cromwell et al. (1998) showed that basic copper chloride was as effective as copper sulfate in promoting the growth of weaned piglets. 150ppm TBCC is more effective than 200ppm copper sulfate.
• Vitamin Preservation: Hooge et al. demonstrated that when Cu levels are equal, the Vitamin E content in diets supplemented with TBCC was significantly higher than those with CuSO4.
• Safety Profile: Luo Xugang et al. (2008) indicated that the toxic copper level from TBCC is 2-3 times higher than from copper sulfate, making it a safer copper source additive.
• Bioavailability: Miles et al. (1998) found the relative bioavailability of TBCC in broilers to be 112% (compared to 100% for CuSO4). Liu et al. (2005) found a relative biological potency of 134% in laying hens.
Specifically formulated to be added to animal feed as a copper supplement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of TBCC over Copper Sulfate?
TBCC causes significantly less oxidative damage to fat-soluble vitamins and fats compared to copper sulfate. It is also non-hygroscopic, meaning it doesn't clump, making it much easier to mix into feed.
Is TBCC safe for weaned piglets?
Yes, research by Cromwell et al. shows that 150ppm of TBCC is more effective than 200ppm of copper sulfate for growth promotion in weaned piglets, and it has a much higher safety margin (2-3 times safer).
Does TBCC dissolve in water?
No, TBCC is insoluble in water. However, it is soluble in neutral salts and acid solutions, allowing it to be rapidly dissolved and absorbed within the animal's digestive tract.
What is the copper content in Minexo C?
Minexo C (TBCC) contains at least 58.12% elemental copper (Cu) and over 98% Tribasic Copper Chloride [Cu2(OH)3Cl].
What is the biological potency of TBCC in poultry?
Studies indicate a high bioavailability of 112% in broilers and up to 134% in laying hens compared to standard copper sulfate.
How should the product be stored to ensure quality?
To maintain its 24-month shelf life, it should be kept in its original 25kg packaging in a cool, dry, dark environment with adequate ventilation.
