Ferrous Sulphate Monohydrate (FeSO4·H2O) is an important iron supplement used in animal nutrition, and its effects on animals are as follows:
Safety and Efficacy: Ferrous sulphate monohydrate is considered safe for various animal species when supplied up to certain maximum iron content levels per kilogram of complete feeding stuff. For bovines and poultry, it is safe up to 450 mg Fe/kg, for ovines up to 500 mg Fe/kg, for pets up to 600 mg Fe/kg, and for other species/categories (except horses and fish) up to 750 mg Fe/kg. For piglets up to one week before weaning, a maximum of 250 mg Fe/day is considered safe .
Impact on Edible Tissues: Iron from ferrous sulphate monohydrate is unlikely to modify the iron concentration in edible tissues and products of animal origin. Consumer exposure in the EU is not associated with a risk of excess iron intake to the general population .
Environmental Considerations: Considering the high concentration of iron and sulphur in soil and water, the supplementation of feed with ferrous sulphate monohydrate is not expected to pose an environmental risk .
Health and Nutritional Benefits: Ferrous sulphate monohydrate is an effective iron source for all animal species and categories. It is used to meet the iron requirements of animals, which is essential for various physiological processes, including oxygen transport, immune function, and energy metabolism .
Effects on Piglets: Studies have shown that maternal dietary supplementation with ferrous sulfate monohydrate can affect the iron status in neonatal pigs. It can influence relative organ weight, tissue iron contents, red blood cells, hemoglobin concentration, and hematocrit in blood, as well as ferritin, serum iron, and total iron binding capacity in serum of newborn piglets .
Comparative Efficacy with Other Iron Sources: In comparative studies, ferrous glycine chelate (Fe-Gly) and ferrous sulfate monohydrate have been evaluated for their effects on piglets. Fe-Gly was found to be superior to FeSO4·H2O based on certain blood biochemical indices
