CAS 7681-11-0 Potassium Iodide, Brand Name : OEM, Form : Powder

Potassium iodide CAS 7681-11-0 is colorless or white cubic crystal. Odorless, with a strong bitter and salty taste. Soluble in water. Its aqueous solution is neutral or slightly alkaline.

Potassium iodide CAS 7681-11-0 is an ionic compound, in which iodine ion can form dark yellow precipitated silver iodide with silver ion, so silver nitrate can be used to test the existence of iodine ion. Iodine, as a component of thyroxine, is closely related to the basic metabolism of livestock and poultry, and Potassium iodide CAS 7681-11-0 participates in almost all material metabolism processes. Iodine deficiency in livestock will cause thyroid hyperplasia and hypertrophy, reduce the basic metabolic rate, and affect growth and development.

The feed of young animals and livestock and poultry in iodine deficient areas needs iodine. The iodine demand of high-yield cows and layers increases, and the feed also needs iodine. Potassium iodide CAS 7681-11-0 in milk and eggs increased with the increase of feed iodine. To promote growth, increase egg laying rate and reproduction rate and improve feed utilization rate, Potassium iodide CAS 7681-11-0 amount added to the feed is generally a few ppm.

Potassium iodide CAS 7681-11-0 is a permitted food iodine fortifier, which can be used in infant food according to regulations. The dosage is 0.3-0.6mg/kg. Potassium iodide CAS 7681-11-0 can also be used for table salt. The dosage is 30-70ml/kg. Iodine is a component of thyroxine.
