Virbac FBC Granules

Oral Iron & Blood-Building Supplement

Virbac FBC Granules (FBC Bloodfood) are a complete blood-building package to optimise blood counts, combining iron, trace minerals, B-complex vitamins and amino acids.

Recommended for horses recovering from sickness, injury, bleeding, surgery or anaemia, heavily parasitised horses, performance horses starting or returning to training, and breeding horses and lactating mares with extra iron demands.

Supplied in individually packed sachets of palatable, sugar-coated granules for an accurate dose.

Why Choose FBC Bloodfood?

• Highly concentrated elemental iron – contains 98% iron carbonyl, the most concentrated form of iron, micronised for maximum availability
• Other essential components – added copper, cobalt and amino acids are required for blood production and the proteins in red blood cells and haemoglobin
• Alternative to injectables – high levels of vitamin B12 and folic acid stimulate the bone marrow to produce red blood cells, eliminating the need for B12 and folic acid injections
• Accurate dose and excellent palatability
