Potassium Iodide Powder CAS 7681-11-0

Potassium Iodide Powder is an ionic compound in which iodine ions can form a deep yellow precipitated silver iodide with silver ions (see photodecomposition, which can be used to make high-speed photographic film). Iodine, as a component of thyroxine, is closely related to the basic metabolism of livestock and poultry, and participates in almost all material metabolism processes. Iodine deficiency in livestock will cause thyroid hyperplasia and hypertrophy, decrease the basic metabolic rate, and affect growth and development. Iodine needs to be added to the feed of young livestock and livestock and poultry in iodine-deficient areas, and the iodine requirement of high-yield dairy cows and high-yield laying hens is increased, and iodine needs to be added to their feed. The iodine in milk and eggs increases with the increase of dietary iodine.

It is reported that iodized eggs can reduce the human cholesterol content, which is beneficial to the health of people with high blood pressure. In addition, during animal finishing, although there is no shortage of iodine, in order to make livestock and poultry thyroid function vigorous, enhance anti-stress ability, maintain the highest production capacity, iodide is also supplemented, potassium iodide as an iodine source added to feed, can prevent and control iodine deficiency disease, promote growth, increase egg production rate and reproductive rate and improve feed utilization rate, the added amount in feed is generally several PPM. Because it is unstable, iron citrate and calcium stearate (generally 10%) are usually added as protective agents to make it stable.
