Basic Copper Chloride (TBCC) – Premium Feed Grade Copper Additive
1. Introduction
Basic Copper Chloride, also known as Tribasic Copper Chloride (TBCC, CAS 1332-65-6), is a high-stability inorganic trace mineral widely adopted in modern animal feed formulations. Compared with traditional copper sulfate, this green crystalline copper source features higher copper concentration, better bioavailability and excellent physical stability, making it a preferred nutritional additive for livestock, poultry and aquaculture feed production.
Our factory-manufactured feed-grade Basic Copper Chloride is produced through optimized green synthesis and multi-stage purification processes. The product maintains stable powder properties without deliquescence or caking during long-term storage and transportation. It shows good compatibility with vitamins, mineral premixes and various feed raw materials, effectively improving feed utilization rate and animal disease resistance while reducing heavy metal excretion and environmental pressure. All batches comply with international feed safety standards, suitable for long-term bulk export and industrial formula application.
Backed by standardized production facilities and professional R&D capabilities, we deliver consistent batch quality and reliable supply for global feed manufacturers and agricultural breeding enterprises.

4. FAQ
Q1: What is Basic Copper Chloride used for?
A1: Basic Copper Chloride (TBCC) is a high-efficiency trace copper additive specially used for animal feed. It supplements essential copper nutrients for livestock, poultry and aquatic animals, improves feed conversion rate, enhances immunity and promotes healthy growth.
Q2: Why choose TBCC instead of copper sulfate?
A2: TBCC has higher copper content and better bioavailability. It does not easily deliquesce or cake, brings no negative reaction with vitamins, and features lower heavy metal residues and lower animal excretion. It is more stable, safer and more eco-friendly for long-term feed formula application.
Q3: Is your TBCC feed grade safe for global export?
A3: Yes. Our TBCC adopts green production and strict impurity control, fully compliant with international feed safety and environmental protection standards. We can provide complete certification documents to support global market access and customs inspection.
Q4: Do you support bulk supply and customized specifications?
A4: Yes. We are a professional manufacturer with a 100-acre production base, 150 employees and 30 professional technical personnel. Cooperating with many scientific research institutions and universities, we realize continuous green process improvement and quality upgrading. We support stable bulk supply and can adjust product fineness and indicators according to customer formula requirements.
Q5: What is the shelf life and storage requirement?
A5: The shelf life is 24 months under sealed, dry and cool storage conditions. Please keep sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption and ensure stable use effect.
Q6: What documents can you provide for export?
A6: We can provide COA, MSDS, safety test reports, certificate of origin and other customized compliance documents to meet various country’s import requirements.
