“…This is in line with Egeli et al (1989b), who stated that the anaemic limit, i.e. the point when anaemia begins to exert a detrimental effect on weight gain or gives rise to clinical symptoms of anaemia, is at a haemoglobin concentration of 80 g·l -1 (Furugouri 1975;Van Kempen 1987).…”

Parenteral iron administration in suckling piglets – a review

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Parenteral iron administration has been a common practice for the prevention of iron deficiency in newborn piglets. The efficacy and safety of this method require reexamination due to the introduction of new genetic lines and management changes in swine production. The aim of this article was to review current knowledge on this method of anaemia prevention in piglets. Iron requirements, iron sources, and the mode of action, dosage, and negative effects of iron dextran injection are discussed. The paper also reviews methods for evaluating the efficacy of iron administration in piglets.Iron dextran, oxidative stress, heamoglobin, haematocrit

Influence of iron deficiency on thyroidal hormone production in piglets before weaning

et al. 2016

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of iron deficiency on the thyroidal function and hormone T 3 and T 4 concentration in piglets before weaning. We used 40 Landrace × Czech Large White piglets before weaning in this trial. They were divided into two groups. The control group was supplemented with iron after birth, the experimental group was without iron supplementation after birth. Iron, T 3 and T 4 and haematology indicators were observed. Piglets in the experimental group developed serious anaemia. The iron serum concentration in the experimental group was significantly lower than in the control group. Significant difference in T 3 and T 4 hormone concentration was found between the experimental and the control group. At the age of 17 and 25 days we found the negative effect of iron deficiency on the thyroid hormone production.

“…The main indicator is a decrease in Hb concentration below the level of 80 g/l that is considered as an anaemic limit (Furugouri 1975;v an Kempen 1987;. Decreasing values of Hb were also measured in the subsequent week after birth.…”
