Cobalt lactate is a chemical compound, a salt of cobalt and lactic acid with the formula Co(C₃H₅O₃)₂.

Synthesis

Cobalt lactate can be formed by boiling hydrated oxide of cobalt with lactic acid.

Physical properties

Cobalt lactate forms a peach-blossom red salt. It is soluble in water.

When heated, the compound becomes black, takes fire, and leaves cobalt oxide.

Use

Cobalt lactate is used as a ruminal source of cobalt in a high-forage total mixed ration fed to late-lactation dairy cows.
