Iron bioavailability from different compounds was evaluated to be used in diets for weaned piglets. Forty four piglets (7 non-anemic and 37 anemic) weaned at 21 days old (7.3 ± 1.8 kg) were distributed into two groups: non-anemic group and anemic group. During seven days, the animals from non-anemic group were fed diet with ferrous sulfate hepthydrate (FeSO4.7H2O) in the dose of 100 mg/kg and of the anemic group, diet without iron (<15 mg/kg diet). On the seventh day, after […]
