Product Description
We offer a qualitative range of Cobalt Chloride with the chemical formula CoCl2. It is made up of premium grades of cobalt metal that is acquired from the reliable sources. The hexahydrate is deep purple in color, whereas the anhydrous form is sky blue. Cobalt Chloride is deliquescent and the anhydrous salt CoCl2 is hygroscopic, readily converting to the hydrate. It is used in invisible ink, an established chemical inducer and also in organic synthesis and electroplating objects with cobalt metal.

Superior Mineral Supplementation for Animal NutritionCobalt glycinate is specifically designed to improve the health and performance of livestock by providing a stable, highly bioavailable source of cobalt. With its neutral pH, non-hygroscopic nature, and excellent solubility in water, this product mixes uniformly in feed formulations, ensuring consistent dosing. The distinctive light pink powder is odorless and safe to handle when proper precautions are followed.
Safe and Compliant Product QualityManufactured under stringent quality controls, cobalt glycinate complies with feed safety standards, maintaining heavy metal content below permissible limits. Its packaging in HDPE woven bags with inner liners protects the product from moisture and contamination, contributing to its two-year shelf life. The formula is non-poisonous at suggested usage levels, making it a trusted choice for animal feed.
FAQs of Cobalt glycinate (co -12%):
Q: How is cobalt glycinate (Co-12%) used in livestock feed?
A: Cobalt glycinate (Co-12%) is incorporated directly into animal feed as a mineral supplement, providing essential cobalt to enhance metabolic function and growth performance in livestock.
Q: What are the primary benefits of supplementing animal diets with this product?
A: Supplementation with cobalt glycinate supports healthy rumen microbial activity, increases vitamin B12 synthesis, and improves overall metabolic efficiency, promoting better health and productivity in animals.
Q: When should cobalt glycinate be added to feed formulations?
A: It should be added during the feed mixing process to ensure even distribution and effective uptake by the animals, following recommended dosage guidelines for each livestock type.
Q: Where should cobalt glycinate powder be stored to retain product quality?
A: Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight, in its original tightly sealed HDPE woven bag to preserve its stability and prolong shelf life.
Q: What safety measures should be taken when handling cobalt glycinate?
A: Avoid inhaling the powder and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as masks and gloves, to minimize exposure during handling or feed preparation.
Q: What makes cobalt glycinate (Co-12%) suitable for animal feed applications?
A: Its high purity (minimum 12% cobalt), water solubility, absence of common allergens, and compliance with permissible heavy metal limits make it an ideal and safe choice for various livestock feed formulations.
