It is a product used by many sectors such as feed and feed additives, licking stones, metal coating, wood industry, mining industry, controlling algae reproduction in ponds, agricultural industry (Eyestone), pharmacy and fabric dyeing. Mainly known:
Use in the agricultural sector: Copper sulfate pentahydrate is an effective fungicide. For this purpose Copper sulfate pentahydrate is used, to kill and control fungus and fungal spores. It is used in making Bordeaux mixture.
Copper is involved in the structure of many enzymes as trace elements, as coenzymes or activators and in the structure of red blood cells. It is mostly found in the liver, heart, kidney and brain. With this aspect, it contributes to the growth and development of animals and supports the immune system. Easily soluble in water. Copper is effective in bone formation, tissue development, keratinization, tissue pigmentation in the body, as well as in lipid, energy and protein metabolism. It is necessary for the absorption of iron from intestines and mobilization from tissues to plasma, for iron to be used in hemoglobin formation and therefore for erythrocyte production. Copper is necessary for the production of antioxidant enzymes and for the immune system due to its involvement in the formation of white blood cells. Copper plays a role in the formation of blood, connective tissue metabolism, myelin formation in newborns, bone formation, skin or hair color formation.
