Mexico’s agricultural industry is becoming increasingly sophisticated, with feed producers seeking balanced, efficient solutions for livestock and poultry nutrition. Among the essential trace minerals required for healthy growth and metabolism, iodine stands out for its role in thyroid regulation and overall productivity. One of the most reliable iodine additives for feed premixes and mineral supplements is Ethylenediamine Dihydroiodide (EDDI).
1. Why EDDI Matters in Feed Premixes
EDDI offers several advantages over inorganic iodine sources such as potassium iodide. Its superior stability, bioavailability, and compatibility with other nutrients make it ideal for inclusion in feed premixes. When added correctly, EDDI ensures animals receive consistent iodine levels essential for hormone production, growth, and reproduction.
2. Balancing Iodine with Other Nutrients
Feed manufacturers must balance iodine with other trace minerals like zinc, copper, and selenium. Over-supplementation or uneven blending can cause nutrient interactions that reduce absorption. EDDI’s stable composition allows for precise dosing, ensuring nutritional efficiency and compliance with Mexico’s feed regulations.
3. Application in Mineral Blocks and Premixes
EDDI integrates well into both dry and liquid feed systems. In mineral blocks, its stability prevents iodine loss during curing and storage. In premixes, it maintains potency through blending, pelleting, and bagging — critical in Mexico’s humid and variable climate.
4. Economic and Logistical Benefits
A consistent iodine source reduces production costs by minimizing waste, ensuring predictable animal performance, and reducing recalls. EDDI’s long shelf life simplifies inventory management and improves cost efficiency for distributors across Mexico.
Integrating Ethylenediamine Dihydroiodide into feed formulations ensures optimal nutrition and stable iodine delivery for Mexican livestock.
