Cobalt: A Vital Micronutrient for Enhanced Agricultural and Livestock Productivity
At Dron Industries, we manufacture and supply high-purity cobalt compounds engineered to support critical applications in animal nutrition, agriculture, and industrial sectors. In the field of animal nutrition, cobalt plays an essential role in ruminant health, acting as a key component in the synthesis of Vitamin B12, which is vital for optimal metabolism in cattle, sheep, and goats. Our feed-grade cobalt products, such as cobalt sulfate and cobalt carbonate, are formulated for high bioavailability and uniform mixing, improving rumen microflora activity, nutrient absorption, and overall feed efficiency. Especially in cobalt-deficient regions, targeted supplementation with our products helps prevent metabolic disorders like “bush sickness” while promoting growth, reproductive health, and livestock productivity.
For the agricultural market, we offer cobalt solutions suitable for fertilizer blends and foliar applications, meeting the specific micronutrient needs of modern crop production systems. These products are designed to work synergistically with other trace minerals such as copper and selenium, enhancing nutrient uptake and plant resilience. With minimal inclusion rates—typically between 0.1 to 0.3 ppm in animal feed—our cobalt products deliver substantial health and performance benefits, making them one of the most cost-effective micronutrient investments for advanced livestock and agronomic operations.
In addition to our product quality, Dron Industries provides technical expertise and consultation to help clients develop customized cobalt supplementation strategies based on regional deficiencies, species-specific needs, and overall nutritional goals. Our commitment to quality, consistency, and customer support makes us a reliable partner in enhancing animal health and agricultural productivity through precise and efficient cobalt solutions.
