“…This demonstrates that the chelated iron did not influence the performance of piglets, but the supply of injectable iron dextran was essential for piglet development. These results contradict the findings of Svoboda and Drabek (2003), which conclude that free access to a commercial product containing iron chelated with aminoacid vehicles prevents piglet anemia and results in piglet growth comparable to that of piglets that received injectable iron dextran.…”

-The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of chelated iron supplementation on gestating and lactating sows and on their suckling and weaned piglets. Reproductive traits, piglet performance, hematological parameters, and the iron concentrations in colostrum, milk, and stillborn livers were measured. Ninety-six sows were subjected to one of three treatment groups. Group T1 comprised pregnant and lactating sows treated with diets supplemented with inorganic iron (551 mg Fe/kg) and suckling piglets administered 200 mg of injectable iron dextran. Group T2 was the same as T1, except that sows after 84 days of gestation, lactating sows, and suckling piglets were fed a diet supplemented with 150 mg Fe/kg of chelated iron, and suckling piglets were administered injectable iron dextran. Group T3 was the same as T2 but without injectable iron dextran for suckling piglets. During the nursery phase, all of the weaned piglets were penned with their original groups or treatments and received isonutritive and isocaloric feeds. Piglets from the T2 and T3 groups also received an additional 150 mg Fe/kg of chelated iron via their feed. There were no differences among the treatments for reproductive traits or the iron concentrations in the colostrum, milk, or liver. The piglets that did not receive the injectable iron dextran showed the poorest performance during the pre-and post-weaning phases and showed the poorest hematological parameters of the suckling piglets. The chelated iron supplementation is insufficient to meet piglet demand. The iron dextran supply is necessary for suckling and weaned piglets.

“…Svoboda and Drábek (2003) found that voluntary consumption of amino acid chelated iron resulted in the prevention of anaemia in the majority of weaned piglets. The piglets were offered a mineral supplement with amino acid chelated iron (110 g Fe/kg) ad libitum from day 2 to day 14 of life.…”

Iron deficiency is presently a serious problem in suckling piglets on pig farms. The most often used method of anaemia prevention in piglets is parenteral administration of iron dextran. Oral iron represents an alternative to this method. The goal of this article is to review current knowledge on oral iron administration in suckling piglets. The substances that can be used for this purpose include iron dextran, iron salts, iron chelates, carbonyl iron, an iron polymaltose complex and iron microparticles. The different methods of oral iron administration in piglets are discussed. Anaemia, haemoglobin, iron dextran, pig

“…Current iron supplementation husbandry practises have several potentially adverse repercussions such as iron toxicity, inducing oxidative stress [5], secondary infections predisposing piglets to arthritis [10], elevated production costs associated with individual supplementation protocols [30] and compromised welfare linked with needlestick injuries and poor hygiene [11]. Previous attempts at voluntary oral iron supplementation have demonstrated disappointing piglet responses, resulting in insufficient iron intake to combat IDA [8,18]. In attempting to overcome this by the addition of flavour masking agents, this study demonstrated that flavour-conditioned piglets had increased interactions with anise-flavoured creep feed but did not increase their creep consumption.…”

“…Additionally, increased handling times and the unpleasant metallic taste of high-dosage iron supplements may negatively impact piglet behaviour [16]. Furthermore, non-injected piglets subject to voluntary intake of oral iron supplements were all reported to exhibit anaemia within the first two weeks of life due to inadequate iron consumption [8,17,18]. In contrast, Maes et al [11] demonstrated that an iron-rich diet (24% iron content) provided to non-injected piglets three times in specialised feeders reduced the variability of voluntary iron intake to successfully combat anaemia and even surpassed blood Hb concentrations when compared to iron-injected piglets.…”

Iron injections are vital but imperfect against iron deficiency anaemia (IDA). This experiment explored the effects on piglets of maternal flavour conditioning and the voluntary intake of anise flavoured, iron-supplemented creep feed compared with iron injections. The experiment was a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement: ±maternal exposure to dietary anise flavour and ±intramuscular injections of piglets. Twenty-three sows and their litters (242 piglets) were randomly allocated to one of four treatments (n = 5 or 6 per treatment): no flavour plus no injection (NF + NI); no flavour plus iron injection (NF + I); flavour plus no injection (F + NI); and flavour plus iron injection (F + I). All piglets could access anise flavoured, iron-supplemented creep feed (organic and inorganic forms) from D2 of birth. Sow feed intake and milk anethole concentration, piglet body weight (BW) and average daily gain (ADG), creep feed disappearance, piglet behavioural time budgets, and piglet blood glucose and haemoglobin concentrations were determined. Over the four-week study, the only significant differences found were that iron-injected piglets had reduced blood glucose (p = 0.036) on D14 and that maternal flavour provision increased the frequency of piglet creep feed interaction (p = 0.023) and decreased the frequency of suckling events (p = 0.009). In summary, maternal flavour conditioning reduced piglet creep feed neophobia without influencing consumption. The supplementation of creep feed with iron and anise flavour to piglets under the conditions of this trial was effective in preventing IDA, regardless of exposure to maternal flavouring conditioning.
