Abstract Marked species and seasonal differences in iodine content of grasses have been found and preliminary results indicate varietal variation in perennial ryegrass and white clover. Nitrogen fertilisers lowered the iodine content of grasses. The general level of iodine was low in the herbages studied and seldom attained the level recommended as the nutrient requirement for pregnant or lactating stock.
