Ethylenediamine dihydriodide

Ethylenediamine dihydriodide (CAS 5700-49-2), commonly known as EDDI, is an organic iodine salt used as a controlled iodine delivery compound in animal nutrition and veterinary applications. It provides a stable, bioavailable source of iodine for supplementation in feed formulations where precise dosing and consistent release are required for optimal animal health and performance.

In livestock and poultry feed, EDDI serves as an iodine supplement to prevent deficiency-related conditions such as goiter and reproductive disorders in cattle, sheep, and swine. It is incorporated into premixes and mineral blocks where gradual iodine release supports thyroid function across production cycles, ensuring consistent nutritional support for various livestock species.

In pharmaceutical and veterinary formulations, EDDI is used as an active ingredient in products targeting bovine foot rot and soft tissue infections, where its iodine content delivers antimicrobial action. Feed manufacturers also use it as a component in medicated feed additives subject to regulatory approval in target markets, maintaining high standards for safety and efficacy in the supply chain.

EDDI is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder. It is available in feed-grade specification, the standard form for animal nutrition applications, ensuring compatibility with industrial mixing. It is typically packaged in moisture-resistant bags or drums to preserve stability during storage and transit. Bulk quantities are standard for premix and feed manufacturing procurement needs.
