Specs & features.
While highly effective, copper sulfate must be handled carefully. It is highly toxic in high amounts over extended periods, especially in sheep, which are more sensitive to copper than cattle. Excessive doses can lead to liver damage, dehydration, and even death. It can also be corrosive to certain metals and irritating to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes if not handled properly. Always consult a veterinarian to determine the precise dosage based on your animals' feed and overall health.
