Ferrivet in lactating pigs (I)
Abstract
Use and administration of Ferrivet, a drug manufactured from hemolyzed blood to prevent iron-deficiency anemia, was tested in 78 lactational piglets from a swine breeding center. This drug was administered alone or together with several additives (2% Cu; 30% molasses; ferric solution) at different dosages. It was compared to iron dextran. Piglet weight gain was evaluated. Differences were established taking into account oral treatment initial dose-time. According to the results obtained, a 5 mL oral dose of Ferrivet can be administered every other day to prevent iron-deficiency anemia, while a 10 mL oral dose leads to a higher weight gain.
