The invention discloses a preparation method of ferrous crystalline caustic soda type copper chloride, and the function thereof, wherein, the preparation method comprises the steps of: a. taking and preheating an ammonium chloride solution, a ferrous copper chloride solution and hartshorn or copper chloride ammonia liquor respectively; b. putting the preheated ammonium chloride solution, the ferrous copper chloride solution and the hartshorn or the copper chloride ammonia liquor in a reaction container to carry out synthetic reaction to generate the ferrous crystalline caustic soda type copper chloride; and c. stopping charging when the ferrous crystalline caustic soda type copper chloride grows certain grain diameter, discharging part of the material from the bottom, discharging the precipitate in the material, washing, filtering and centrifugalizing the material to obtain the ferrous crystalline caustic soda type copper chloride. The ferrous crystalline caustic soda type copper chloride prepared by the method can be used as the copper-iron micronutrient element additive of animal feed and is characterized by moisture resistance, no agglomeration, good fluidity, stable chemical property, easy mixing with feed, low price, low additive cost, soluble subacidity, easy absorption and utilization, and the like.
