Cupric oleinate

Copper is widely used in veterinary medical products. Copper sulfate is used by veterinarians to treat cattle and sheep for helminthiasis and infectious pododermatitis. Cuprol (a 1% solution of cupric oleinate) is used to control lice. Copper is routinely used as a growth supplement in the diets of swine Sus sp.) in the United Kingdom and elsewhere diets may contain as much as 250.0 mg Cu/kg ration. The intensity of pig fanning within about 10 km from the coast may influence copper content in estuarine sediments. For example, intensive pig farming in coastal Brittany, France, increased soil copper concentrations by 0.6kg/ha aimually and increased coastal sediment copper concentrations to as high as 49.6 mg/kg DW.
