Abstract
This report describes four field cases in beef and/or dairy cattle in which it appears that feeding of organic iodine interfered with the animals' ability to cope with an infectious or non-infectious insult under situations of additional stress, e.g., transportation, inclement weather, high milk production or parturition. The role that iodine may have in causing the observations will also be discussed and hypotheses for mechanism of action will be offered.
