Effects of Supplementing Dextran Iron (Blood Vitamin Phosphorus) on Farrowing Piglets
Trace element iron is very important for piglets; the body's iron content directly affects their growth performance, normal metabolism, and physiological defense functions. Iron deficiency anemia in piglets can cause lethargy, reduced appetite, diarrhea, slow growth, and even sudden death in faster-growing piglets due to insufficient oxygen supply.

How often should veterinary dextran iron be injected?
The injection frequency of veterinary dextran iron must be determined according to the animal species, age, and purpose (prevention or treatment). Typically, piglets receive their first injection of 1-2ml within 2-3 days after birth, with a booster dose at 15 days old; when treating anemia, injections should be repeated every 7-10 days.

Common Symptoms and Prevention Tips for Iron Deficiency Anemia in Piglets
Iron plays a crucial role in pigs, serving as a key raw material for synthesizing hemoglobin, myoglobin, and various oxidases. If pigs lack this raw material, it can lead to iron deficiency anemia in piglets. Data shows that the iron reserves in newborn piglets are limited, only 30mg to 50mg, while daily growth during nursing requires 7mg to 8mg of iron. Since only about 1mg of iron can be obtained from sow's milk, piglets under one month old relying solely on milk cannot meet their iron needs, making them prone to iron deficiency symptoms such as anemia, diarrhea, and poor development. Especially during winter and early spring when natural iron supplementation opportunities are lacking, piglets are more susceptible to iron deficiency anemia.
