Cobalt mineral element additive
Cobalt exists in various organs, with a high content in liver, kidney, adrenal gland, spleen, pancreas, and stomach tissues. The component of vitamin B12 contains 4.5% cobalt. Cobalt has the function of activating arginase and inhibiting the activity of cytochrome oxidase, which is related to the metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins. It is involved in the synthesis of vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, and vitamin D.
Cobalt deficiency is characterized by digestive disorders, growth stagnation, mental fatigue, anemia, and emaciation, and sow miscarriage. The amount of cobalt required per kilogram of dry feed is 0.5-2 milligrams for pregnant and lactating sows, and 0.5-1 milligrams for other pigs.
Cobalt supplements include cobalt sulfate, cobalt carbonate, cobalt chloride, etc.
toxicity
Inhalation of cobalt compounds can sometimes lead to bronchial asthma; Grinding cobalt compounds can cause acute dermatitis and sometimes ulceration of the skin surface.
The maximum allowable concentration of metallic cobalt and cobalt oxide is 0.5 mg/m3.
Wear a gas mask during work to prevent aerosol damage to respiratory organs; During work, one should also wear dustproof work clothes and protective gloves to protect the skin. Attention should be paid to dust prevention and removal.
