Iodine deficiency still exists in many countries worldwide, to a certain degree this is also true for Germany. Food of animal origin can be a good source for iodine depending on the feed. To investigate the possible use of laying hen feed enriched with iodine, we conducted a feeding experiment with 40 laying hens receiving feed with different amounts of iodine either as KIO3 or in the form of seaweed. Iodine concentration in eggs increased significantly depending on iodine intake after a 2 week period. Seaweed could also be used as an iodine source by the hens. A subsequent consumption study with 24 volunteers showed that eggs enriched with iodine can increase human's iodine excretion and therefore improve human's iodine supply. This new strategy is thought to accompany salt iodization programs, not to replace them.
