“…In most previous studies, it was not possible to prevent anaemia in suckling piglets by oral iron administration based on voluntary intake (Zimmermann 1995, Egeli and Framstad 1998, Egeli and others 1998b). Svoboda and others (2005) reported that a mixture of 70 per cent iron lactate, 20 per cent lactoferrin and 10 per cent whey powder together with vanilla powder was not sufficiently consumed by the pigs to prevent anaemia. An extra intramuscular administration of iron on day 14 was necessary to obtain the same haemoglobin concentrations at weaning compared with pigs that received iron dextran intramuscularly on day 3.…”

The aim of this study was to compare oral iron supplementation in feed with a standard iron injection and assess the impact on the health and productivity of pigs. The reliability of a quick test (HemoCue) for the measurement of blood haemoglobin concentration was also investigated. Three pig herds, with a total of 88 sows and their piglets, were included in the study. Piglets in treatment group O were fed a special iron-rich feed on days 2 to 4, 5 to 7 and 8 to 12 of lactation using a specially designed feeding device. Piglets in group IM received 200 mg of an iron dextran complex intramuscularly at three days of age. Haemoglobin concentrations and performance of the piglets were compared between groups. The mean haemoglobin concentrations in pigs at weaning were 131.4 and 116.4 g/l for pigs in groups O and IM, respectively (P<0.01). Daily weight gain (253.9 v 248.8 g/day) and piglet mortality (11.4 v 12.2 per cent) were slightly better in group O than in group IM (P>0.05).

“…Iron application via the drinking water to neonatal piglets has the disadvantage that water intake is usually very low, as colostrum and milk consumption account for almost 100 per cent of the feed and water intake of these piglets. It also appeared that a single application via the feed was insufficient (Egeli and Framstad 1998, Svoboda and others 2005).…”

Food safety and quality and animal production health have recently become major topics of veterinary research and the focus of several national, European and international grant agencies. Since 2005, the University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Brno has been conducting two major projects in these areas. Both projects contribute to enhancing the quality of research at the university, and some results have been published in peer-reviewed international scientific journals included in the Citation Index database. Papers have also been published in Acta Veterinaria Brno, and those submitted for publication in 2007 form the basis for a special supplement dealing with veterinary aspects of food safety and quality, and animal production health.
