Calcium Iodate

Calcium Iodate, is an inorganic compound with CAS Number 7789-80-2. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder.

It serves as a reliable iodine supplement in animal feed because of its high iodine content and superior stability compared to other iodine sources like potassium iodide. The compound is slightly soluble in water, making it suitable for various feed formulations where gradual iodine release is beneficial.

Calcium Iodate, a stable and highly bioavailable source of iodine essential for livestock, poultry, swine, and aquaculture.

• Store at the drying storeroom without direct sunlight, avoid packagings from broken, drenched by rain and cross-pollution.

Benefits of Calcium Iodate Feed Additive

Prevents Iodine Deficiency Disorders:

Supports proper thyroid function and prevents goiter, reproductive issues, and metabolic disorders in livestock and poultry.

High Stability:

More resistant to heat, moisture, and processing conditions than many alternative iodine sources, ensuring consistent nutrient delivery in pelleted or extruded feeds.

Excellent Bioavailability:

Animals absorb iodine efficiently from the iodate form, promoting thyroid hormone synthesis for better growth, immunity, and energy metabolism.

Improved Production Performance:

Enhances weight gain, feed efficiency, egg production in layers, milk yield in dairy cattle, and overall reproductive health.

Safe for Multiple Species:

Suitable for ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats), monogastrics (pigs, poultry), and aquaculture (fish and shrimp).

Applications and Uses of Calcium Iodate in Animal Feed

Calcium Iodate is primarily used as a trace mineral supplement in compound feeds, premixes, and salt licks. Common applications include:

Livestock (Cattle, Sheep, Goats)

• Prevents iodine deficiency in grazing animals, especially in iodine-poor soil regions.

• Supports thyroid health, reproduction, and milk production.

Poultry

• Improves egg production, eggshell quality, and hatchability.

• Preferred for its stability during high-temperature feed processing.

Swine

• Enhances growth rates and immune response in pigs.

Aquaculture

• Provides stable iodine in fish and shrimp feeds with minimal loss to water.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the CAS number for Calcium Iodate?

A: The CAS Number is 7789-80-2.

Q: Is Calcium Iodate safe for use in animal feed?

A: Yes. It is authorized as a safe iodine source for all animal species when incorporated at levels that do not exceed regulatory maximums for total iodine in feed. It is preferred for its stability and bioavailability.

Q: Why choose Calcium Iodate over other iodine sources like potassium iodide?

A: Calcium Iodate offers higher stability against heat, light, and moisture, better resistance during feed processing, and a high iodine content, making it more reliable for consistent supplementation.

Q: What animals can benefit from Calcium Iodate supplementation?

A: It is suitable for cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry (chickens, turkeys), and aquaculture species (fish, shrimp). It helps prevent iodine deficiency across these categories.

Q: How should Calcium Iodate be stored?

A: Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight to maintain stability and prevent caking.
