Used as a feed additive. As a component of thyroxine, iodine participates in the metabolism of all substances in livestock and maintains the heat balance in the body. Iodine is an essential hormone for the growth, reproduction and lactation of livestock and poultry. It can improve the growth performance of livestock and poultry and promote the health of the body. If the body of the livestock is deficient in iodine, it will lead to metabolic disorders, disorders of the body, thyroid enlargement, affecting nerve function and the coloration of the coat and the digestion and absorption of the feed, eventually leading to slow growth. The food industry is used as a nutritional supplement (iodine enhancer).
