Iron is one of the main components of hemoglobin in piglets. There is a lot of iron in piglets, but with the growth of piglets, it is consumed very quickly. However, the iron content in sow milk is only about 0.003%, which can not meet the growth needs of piglets. Neck and thigh roots are commonly used. Thigh iron supplementation was popular for some time, but I don't recommend it, because the nerve and blood vessels in the thigh are more complicated than the neck, and problems will occur if you are not careful. It is recommended to inject into the neck muscle. If so, you are comfortable with your skills, then forget it.
But in practice, two milliliters is still a little too little, and the skin is not rosy enough. Therefore, 1- 1.5 ml should be used for paralysis within three days of birth (too much will cause poisoning) and then 1.5-2 ml should be used when the pig is cured, so that the pig is absolutely beautiful. We 1000 sow farms have concluded that iron supplementation is very important, and pig raising should be carried out according to each pig.
We give pigs iron supplements, buy them from the veterinary drug store on the street, and eat iron supplements on the third day after they are born. In fact, one iron supplement is enough. All the neighbors in the village have patched the pigs once. In order to consolidate and improve the health of piglets, a week later. At the same time, the hematopoietic function of newborn piglets is not perfect, and the iron in newborn piglets is only enough to maintain the body's needs for three days. Piglets without iron supplementation will have growth retardation and anemia, which will lead to death in severe cases, so it is necessary to ensure that piglets will not have iron deficiency anemia after 3 days.
