Abstract
PIGLET anæmia is a microcytic hypochromic anæmia which may affect suckling pigs during the first 21–30 days after birth, especially when they are reared in such a way that access to pasture is excluded. The treatments at present adopted aim at supplying an additional amount of iron to the suckling pigs, either by dosing them individually or by allowing them access to a box of soil which is sometimes dressed with a solution of iron salts.
