Iomate products are the brainchild of Alan Boley, a leading authority in the formulation, use and manufacturing of iodine derivatives in the agricultural and industrial field.
The first Iomate products were introduced to the market in 1992 and were based on iodides manufactured by Mr. Boley’s former employer, West Agro, Inc. Mr. Boley had spent a total of twenty-four years with West Agro in various managerial and technical positions. Working with traditional iodine feed additives, Mr. Boley realized that although West Agro had superior products, they really were not able to be utilized effectively by farmers, premix mineral manufacturers and feed mills. Products on the market reacted strongly with other minerals, or the feed itself, and they were difficult to distribute uniformly in the feed or premix, and were even more difficult to keep uniformly distributed. It was these observations the led to a lengthy but thorough investigation into how to better deliver iodine to animals.
The result of that search is Iomate 100 and Iomate EDDideal. For eleven years, Iomate products were marketed directly by Iomate Corporation, and had astounding use and acceptance in the feed industry. However, to continue this growth and realize economies of scale, it was obvious that Iomate Corporation needed to offer its products alongside the more traditional, albeit less effective iodine additives. That led to the joint venture in late 2003 of Iomate Corporation and IodiTech Inc. IodiTech is the owner of West Agro’s former iodine derivatives business, and the combination of the merger gives the feed industry five iodine additives to choose from, more than any other derivatives manufacturer.
Iomate products are the direction dietary iodine additives are heading in the future. Why not make the your future become the present now?The iodine in your ration is critical for: good animal health, good reproduction, good feed efficiency, lean tissue production
Iomate iodine additives can be used in all premixes or added directly to finished feeds.
Iomate iodine additives provide highly uniform dispersion and are very resistant to iodine loss. These characteristics give you the greatest efficiency available from any iodine source.
Iomate 100 and Iomate EDDideal are much easier and safer to handle than calcium iodate, Eddi or feed grade potassium iodide. Also, the shelf life is much longer.
These products are much less toxic to workers than the conventional crystalline, highly concentrated materials, and there is much less direct exposure of workers to reactive chemicals.
IOMATE 100 is used in dairy rations, concentrates, supplements, liquid feeds, poultry rations and pet food.
It can be used as the sole source of iodine in a ration or to add supplemental iodine to a ration.
In all respects, IOMATE 100 is far superior to the older conventional crystalline materials that are used to provide iodine.
IOMATE 100 contains 10 per cent potassium iodide (7.6 per cent iodine) in an organic carrier.
Supplied in:
• One-pound carton
• Box of 6 one-pound cartons
• 30-pound fiber bag
• Pallet of 40 30-pound fiber bags
Maximum Performance: Feeds containing IOMATE 100 will provide more uniform quantities of iodine to each and every recipient animal, resulting in improved performance of the feed. High blood serum levels for prolonged periods of time are key to the efficient use of iodine by the animal. Unlike calcium iodate, which is not fully utilized by animal, Iomate 100 offers both high blood serum levels and prolonged serum levels. Simply overfeeding an additive like calcium iodate will not provide the solution to the problem as simply as feeding Iomate 100.
No Demixing: IOMATE 100 distributes easily and well in nearly all feed and premix materials, and is quite resistant to demixing during operations subsequent to blending.
Highly Stable: Other iodine additives react violently when added to mineral premixes or feed rations, and lose expensive iodine to the atmosphere. This iodine loss means some animals are shortchanged. IOMATE 100 has a unique carrier that provides a completely stable iodine additive, and you will receive complete iodine content in your feed or mineral premix. It can not react with other ingredients.
Easy to Use: IOMATE 100 is a free-flowing granular material whose bulk density approximates that of many other ingredients in a feed mixture. It is easy to handle and to incorporate into the manufacturing process.
Safety: IOMATE 100 is much less toxic to workers than the conventional crystalline, highly concentrated materials, and there is much less direct exposure of workers to reactive chemicals.
Intended for use on the farm, ranch or feed mill, IOMATE EDDideal offers far better mixing with feedstuffs, as well as excellent stability under the highly adverse conditions that sometimes occur with products containing minerals.
Outstanding: Stability, Ease of Use, Efficacy, Safety
IOMATE EDDideal contains 10 percent ethylenediamine dihydriodide (7.6 per cent iodine) in an organic carrier.
Supplied in:
• One-pound carton
• Box of 6 one-pound cartons
• 30-pound fiber bag
• Pallet of 40 30-pound fiber bags
Maximum Performance: EDDideal provides the highest bioavailability of any iodine additive since it is organic iodine in a non-reactive form. Organic iodine is the only version that reaches quick and high blood serum levels in animals. High blood serum levels and prolonged high blood serum levels are key to efficient use of iodine by the animal. EDDideal is the most effective way to achieve both goals, and do so safely and easily.
No Demixing: Typical iodine additives will separate or “demix” after being added to mineral mixtures or feed, due to the extremely fine crystal size. So, some animals get lots of iodine, others can get little or none. EDDideal is “bulked up” and when added to a mineral mix or feed ration, blends well throughout the formula and then stays blended during use and transit. All animals receive the desired amount.
Highly Stable: Other iodine additives, especially organic ones, react violently when added to mineral premixes or feed rations, and lose expensive iodine to the atmosphere. This iodine loss means some animals are shortchanged. EDDideal has a unique carrier that provides a completely stable iodine additive, and you will receive complete iodine content in your feed or mineral premix. It can not react with other ingredients.
Easy to Use: Typical iodine additives are so concentrated that losing a little on the ground, or adding too much, becomes very expensive. It is virtually impossible to prevent problems these usage problems. EDDideal has an optimal concentration of 10% EDDI so it can be properly and simply measured, and the lower concentration and per pound cost makes it more flexible in accuracy of measure and use.
Safety: Typical iodine additives are over concentrated, making them unsafe to use in many situations. EDDideal is properly concentrated to provide safety to users and virtually eliminates dust.
Less expensive to use: Typical iodine additives, while appearing cheaper, end up being the most expensive-part of the iodine is lost due to reaction, it demixes so that some animals get too much iodine, others not enough, and it is so concentrated that a tiny bit of spill or over measuring becomes very costly. EDDideal is designed to be easy-to-use, easy-to-mix and easy-to-handle. It is the perfect density, particle size and carrier form to mix with other minerals, salt, or feeds.
