Abstract:	Iodine deficiency is an important health problem. Its role in breast pathology and treatment of breast disease has been well studied, but little is known about its role in the development of the breast in young mammals. We conducted a study on 3 weeks old female mice, having an iodine intake of 25% of the necessary, this privation of iodine was created using a special feeding formula and adding sodium perchlorate to the drinking water. After 4 weeks the breast tissues of this group was compared to the control group. The iodine privation prevented normal maturation of breast tissue in the studied lot. Iodine seems to play an important role in breast development in young female mammals.
