People use calcium iodate in animal farming as a dietary supplement to provide iodine to livestock. Iofina Chemical, Iofina’s derivative manufacturing division in Kentucky, can supply calcium iodate in both research and commercial scale quantities. Iofina Chemical is vertically integrated with Iofina Resources which produces iodine from brine solutions out of oil and gas fields at our multiple IOsorb® plants throughout Oklahoma.
Farmers prefer calcium iodate over other iodine sources in animal feeds due to its stability and high iodine content. Iodine in your animals’ diet helps them deal with climate impacts because it aids in keeping body temperature constant when the outside temperature is above or below the animals’ thermoneutral zone.
