Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[hillfloweranch]

i would only use it externally - not on mucous membrane - mucous membrane is inside a body cavity such as mouth, bum and vagina - and in chickens - the vent.

i have used it on human belly buttons and here is a quote from a dairy article.


The most common dairy farm practice we have observed is to use one product for all three jobs; cleaning, sanitizing and drying.
Tincture of iodine is nearly universally recommended for these tasks. When used liberally it does a good job of washing off MUD. The seven-percent iodine concentration is strong enough to kill most pathogens with a short contact time. The tincture of iodine
is an alcohol solution. The alcohol acts to dry out the cord tissue. This speeds up the rate of closure.

I've used a shot glass of iodine after birthing a foal to dip the umbilicus...help dry out and disinfect

Hmm, better watch him round your incubators and chicks then...

Ok, I just bought Iodine Tincture. The actvie ingredients are iodine, sodium iodine, and alcohol. Is that the right stuff?

I purchased it for my gosling's navel in hopes that it would prevent infection and dry it out. She's 5 days old and her navel is still open.

wait mine says just iodine

Don't really know iodine and I've never used it or really researched it's uses, but I found this and thought I should share anyway. Oz, you know more about these things. What do you think?


Tincture of Iodine is another thing I came across. It is not the same thing as Povidone Iodine or Betadine. In fact, there are warnings against using the tincture. It is said to be poisonous and ..."dangerously inflames mucus membranes and if put on a wound or piercing it can result in a toxic level of iodine absorption."
