The studies conducted to find out the efficacy of different iron preparations (iron dextran, chelated iron and EHb) on the body weight gain of iron-deficient anaemic piglets and calves revealed significant increase in the body weights of all treated piglets and calves in comparison to their respective iron-deprived groups. The study also showed that the decrease in body weight gain in iron-deprived piglets and calves was associated with the fall in blood haemoglobin levels in both the species.
