Usage Information
    For the prevention and treatment of anemia due to iron deficiency in baby pigs.Iron deficiency anemia occurs commonly in the suckling pig, often within the first few days of birth. As body size and blood volume increase rapidly from the first few days following birth, hemoglobin levels, in the blood fall due to diminishing iron reserves which cannot be replaced adequately from iron in the sow's milk. Thus, the need of a readily available outside source of iron is apparent. Without this additional iron many newborn pigs may develop anemia within the first few days of life. Anemia retards growth and lowers the obdy defenses against disease; scours, pneumonia, and other conditions may develop. Death from anemia or infections may occur, sometimes destroying entire litters.

Indications




For the prevention and treatment of anemia due to iron deficiency in baby pigs.

Iron deficiency anemia occurs commonly in the suckling pig, often within the first few days of birth. As body size and blood volume increase rapidly from the first few days following birth, hemoglobin levels, in the blood fall due to diminishing iron reserves which cannot be replaced adequately from iron in the sow's milk. Thus, the need of a readily available outside source of iron is apparent. Without this additional iron many newborn pigs may develop anemia within the first few days of life. Anemia retards growth and lowers the obdy defenses against disease; scours, pneumonia, and other conditions may develop. Death from anemia or infections may occur, sometimes destroying entire litters.
