Claims7
In solid form, copper complex salts of the formula:
- ##STR6## wherein "n" is from 1 to 5, and "Z" is an inorganic anion and "Y" is the number required to electrostatically balance the
- salt.
A method of assuring adequate dietary requirements of bioavailable copper for good growth and yield production of livestock, said method comprising:
- adding as a feed ration supplement to the animal's feed,
- a small but effective amount of a copper complex salt of the formula:
- ##STR7## wherein "n" is from 1 to 5, and "Z" is an anion and "y" is the number required to electrostatically balance the set.
Copper lysine sulfate.
