Iodine supplement

Post by Bhatta » Tue May 20, 2014 9:01 am

Ioford or morningbird's liquid iodine is not available in India. Can I use the following products instead? If yes, what may be the dose rate for both.

Thanks for the reply. What do you feel, is the referred supplement ok? The composition seems quite perfect to me and it is much cheaper comparing Ioford. I offer egg food and sunflower seed dust almost everyday. Is is required for my finches?

Other then hard boiled egg and a pinch of table salt in their mineral mix I have never supplemented for iodine so I wouldn't be the best one to answer that.
