    USES:

    The purpose of calcium iodate in cat food and dog food is its effective provision of iodine to the animal. This iodine is used in the making of thyroid hormones.

    CHEMICAL COMPOSITION:

    Chemically, calcium iodate is calcium diiodate and has a chemical formula of Ca(IO3)2. As the formula exhibits, this compound contains Calcium, Iodine, and Oxygen. In addition, it exists in two forms, anhydrous Ca(IO3)2 and monohydrate Ca(IO3)2 (H2O).

    PRODUCT APPLICATION:

    Every living animal has a gland called the thyroid in its body which produces thyroid hormones. The body needs these hormones to carry out the basic activities of life. These hormones have iodine in them and without iodine, the thyroid cannot synthesize these hormones. Calcium iodate provides the pets with adequate iodine to bring about the process of thyroid hormone synthesis.
