Iron supplementation is a common husbandry practice in indoor production systems in order to prevent anemia in piglets, while it is not widespread in outdoor ones. The aim of this work is to determine the effects of injecting Cinta Senese piglets with iron-dextran at third day after farrowing. The supplementation has positive effects on productive performances and blood parameters, especially on animals with lower body weigh at day three. Administration of iron resulted in a significant elevation (p<0.05) in piglets blood haemoglobin levels at 28 days, showing a potential support for piglets performances.

Abstract
Iron supplementation is a common husbandry practice in indoor production systems in order to prevent anemia in piglets, while it is not widespread in outdoor ones. The aim of this work is to determine the effects of injecting Cinta Senese piglets with iron-dextran at third day after farrowing. The supplementation has positive effects on productive performances and blood parameters, especially on animals with lower body weigh at day three. Administration of iron resulted in a significant elevation (p<0.05) in piglets blood haemoglobin levels at 28 days, showing a potential support for piglets performances.File in questo prodotto:
