Clinical and metabolic effects of the original iodine metabolic composition in the experiment on calves

Abstract

The article provides a theoretical justification for the development of a complex iodine metabolic composition based on an iodinepolymer complex (iodinol) and succinic acid. The research on the effectiveness of the proposed composition for the correction of energymetabolic disorders in calves with severe iodine deficiency was carried out. The objects of research were calves with clinical signs of iodine deficiency and pronounced energy metabolic disorders. During the experiment, it was found that the test calves showed a marked improvement in the clinical condition. The thyroid status normalized, the total protein and glucose indicators approached the physiological norm, and the reserve alkalinity of the blood increased. The energetic metabolic effect was due to the combined action of iodinol and succinic acid. The obtained results indicate the opening prospect of an injection method for the use of an iodine polymer complex based on iodine-iodide with polyvinyl alcohol (iodinol) in combination with sodium succinate, not only as an effective approach to cupping and eliminating the iodine deficiency symptoms, but also as an active energy-metabolic drug with a potentially high anti-infective activity.
