Iodox-A™

Use: Disinfectant

Iodox-A™ is a safe and effective disinfectant that prevents the spread of disease-causing bacteria in animals’ communal drinking water. Iodox-A™ is made with citric acid, a selection of plant extracts and a food-grade iodine trace mineral that plays an important role in promoting growth and development, and in burning excess fat. In animals, iodine deficiency can lower metabolism and cause abortions, anemia, retarded growth, etc. Iodine occurs naturally in soil, food and water.


In a test of the anti-bacterial activity of Iodox-A™ on E. coli and M. pyogenes and at a concentration of 1.0 ppm available iodine, Iodox-A™ killed 99.999% + of the test organisms in 60 and 30 seconds, respectively.


Benefits

Iodox-A™ is biocidal, meaning it kills all types of organisms in a non-selective manner, including viruses, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, fungi and even spores.

Iodox-A™ is harmless to poultry and livestock.

  • Improves water quality.
  • Increases water consumption (acts as a flavouring and controls odour, making water more appealing to animals) by up to 30%.
  • Improves performance.
  • Lowers the incidence of disease.

Cattle and Dairy:

  • Reduces the incidence of mastitis.
  • Prevents foot rot.

Hogs:

  • Effective against actinomycosis, arthritis aspergillosis, E. coli, mastitis, swine erysipelas, swine influenza, virus pneumonia, ringworm, salmonellosis, respiratory disease.
  • Reduces tail-biting.

Poultry:

  • Reduces the incidence of goiter (associated with a 34% drop in feed conversion, weaker shells and high mortality in chicks).

Directions for Use

Adjust injection pumps or medicator units to provide 1 part Iodox-A™ to 30,000 parts drinking water.

For high bacteria counts in poultry water, use 1 part Iodox-A™ to 10,000 parts drinking water for 2-4 days or until the situation is under control.
