EDDI is used as an additive in pet food and cattle feed with high bioavailability. Used to prevent iodine deficiency, this salt is one of the major uses of the element iodine. [1] The United States Food and Drug Administration suggests a limit of intake to 50 mg/head/day. [2]
Any of these compounds supplies the body with the iodine required for the biosynthesis of thyroxine (T 4) and triiodothyronine (T 3) hormones by the thyroid gland. Animals also benefit from iodine supplements, and the hydrogen iodide derivative of ethylenediamine is the main supplement to livestock feed. [5]
According to EU Regulation 1831/2003, [9] all feed additives to be placed on the market within the European Union have to undergo a thorough approval process.

The wavelength at which a starch-iodine complex has maximum absorbency is referred to as the lambda max. [38] Plants which are heterozygous on the waxy gene (Wx:wx) can be characterised by staining the pollen with iodine. Half of the pollen will be blue and half brown whereas the kernels will stay blue (very helpful in backcrossing program).
The affected areas can be treated with iodine solutions. A common method to achieve this is to give the cattle sodium iodide orally on a regular treatment schedule. Antibiotics such as tetracyclines are also used, alone or with iodine; simultaneous use is considered more aggressive.
