Suiferm® Iron PasteSuiferm® Iron Paste, provides a high level of readily available iron and a large number of viable lactic acid bacteria, as well as vitamins.
Four important reasons for the oral application of iron in piglets:
| 1st |
The injection of iron on the 3rd day of life is often too late, as up to 60 % of the piglets are suffering from anaemia at birth, already. An injection on day 1 cannot be recommended as vitamin E, as a protective agent for the cells, is usually not available in sufficient quantity. |
| 2nd |
The injection of iron has an immuno-suppressive effect. This fact has been proven scientifically. |
| 3rd |
At the usual time of an iron injection piglets show the highest frequency of disease. Hence, in many cases sick piglets are treated and charged. |
| 4th |
Piglets suffering from scours, at the time of an iron injection, are usually bearing faeces on their skin. This means a risk of pathogens entering the animal together with the injection. |
