This study showed PREVIRON® anti-anaemic preparation had a beneficial effect in all haematological parameters evaluated, satisfying all iron requirements of suckling
piglets at the time of weaning in a commercial farm. Therefore, this iron treatment on 3-day-old piglets can be used to prevent the development of IDA as well as its clinical and productive effects on piglets.

Suitability iron supplementation is necessary to prevent iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) and its health and economic effects1, such as slower growth rate and increase in mortality rate. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and productive effects of a new anti-anaemic preparation in newborn piglets during farrowing.
