An investigation of iron deficiency and anemia in piglets and the effect of iron status at weaning on post-weaning performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Materials and methods: A small, medium, and large piglet (N = 1095) were selected per litter 1 to 2 days before weaning from 20 Ontario (Canada) swine farms. Serum and whole blood samples and body weights were collected. Three weeks later, a second body weight and blood sample were collected from the same pigs. Hemoglobin (Hb) and other blood parameters were analyzed to assess iron status and associations with postweaning performance. Iron supplementation protocols and ZnO concentrations in nursery feed were collected.
