There are so many alternatives for betadine, but each one is used for specific cases. Chlorhexidine is one of the commonly used products in small animal and potassium permagnet is widely used in large animals

It’s depend on the type of wounds if there is availability of potassium permanganate then you can use in diluted with water and wash the wound it will stop bleeding also and you can use dettol for temporary use . you can substitute hydrogen peroxide. (Hydrogen peroxide should also be diluted. Add 50ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide to 100ml of water to dilute.)
Next Steps
For longer time you should use Betadin for proper healing of wounds
