Abstract
Dams treated 2 weeks before farrowing with an intra-muscular injection of 10 ml. of an iron-dextran solution produced pigs which maintained a higher hemoglobin level during the critical post-partum period than did pigs from untreated dams or from dams treated 4 weeks prior to farrowing. Differences in hemoglobin levels in the pigs from untreated dams and in pigs from dams treated 4 weeks before farrowing were not significant.
