Calcium Iodide - Feed Ingredient

Calcium iodide is a mineral supplement used in animal feed as a source of iodine and calcium. It is a highly soluble compound that provides bioavailable iodine, which is essential for thyroid function and metabolism regulation in horses.

In equine nutrition, iodine is necessary for the production of thyroid hormones, which influence energy metabolism, growth, and overall health. Calcium iodide is sometimes included in trace mineral supplements to prevent iodine deficiency, which can lead to goiter and metabolic disorders. However, iodine intake must be carefully managed, as both deficiencies and excesses can disrupt thyroid function.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Calcium Iodide as an ingredient.
