The basic ration ingredients
in the tests were - corn and

that there is " no difference

conditions have greatly imroved over the

there are farmers in the county who still

YOUNG PIGS NEED IRON
Pig anemia is one of the most
common and the most easily
corrected problems of pig pro.
duction.. Anemic pigs are un-
thrifty." They become a ghostly
white color, particularly in the
ears, ,and they "thump" with
short gulps of breath. The pro.
blem is chiefly cuased by a
lack of iron, according to Ont.
ario Department of Agriculture
and Food livestock experts. .
Pigs are born with a limited
supply, of iron and copper. Milk
is low in these elements and
unless pigs have access to a
supply from outsidesources,
anemia will deyelop in the first
two to three weeks of life,

when treating to •prevent
anemia, The most effective
means of treatment is to give
the young pigs a supply of iron
at about three or four days of
age, either by mouth or by in.
jection. Iron materials such as
ferrous sulfate or reduced iron
can be given directly by mouth..
Some success rias peen ob..
tained, by mixing iron com-
pounds with feed and spread.
ing the mixture lightly on the
floor for the pigs to eat. Con.
tinuous treatment up to wean.
,ing is necessary. Injectable
irons will do a good job of
anemia prevention. Follow the
manufacturer's directions. If
leak out is a problem from in.
jection, thufi ,use a smaller
needle such as No. 21, 3/4
inch long. I1ake sure the needle
and syringe are sterile before
use.
Feeding iron to sows will not
increase the iron content of the
sow's milk enough for anemia
prevention.
