Injectable iron – New science on a routine practice

Injectable iron – New science on a routine practice
By Wesley Lyons and Chris Olsen, Pharmacosmos Inc. It is a well-known fact that baby pigs need supplemental iron to thrive. This practice has origins in the 1950’s but research has brought a renewed focus to what optimal injectable iron doses may be in modern swine production. And the implications go far beyond what meets the eye, significantly impacting growth from birth to market.

Effect of intramuscular treatment with different iron dextran dosages and non-inferiority study to gleptoferron - Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica
The animal experiment was performed in a farrow-to-finish farm with 230 sows (Danbred genetics) and 2550 fattening places in a swine dense region in North-Western Germany. Farrowing intervals were five weeks with a four-week suckling period and farrowing groups of approximately 57 sows. Sows of one farrowing group farrowed in three farrowing units with 20 places each. No nurse sows were used, and split suckling was not performed.

Depending on the region and barn ventilation setup, insect types can vary, but the common culprits are house flies, stable flies, dark-eyed fruit flies and mosquitoes.
Letter to the editor: A student-veteran speaks on the bond
Veterans. Veterans. Veterans. When it comes to the Kern Community College District bond, Measure J, some say it is all Bakersfield College talks about. Well, veterans are not an “it.” It is a me. I am that veteran at Bakersfield College and, yes, I will beat the drum on my own behalf. We need the bond because we need a fully functioning veteran resource center.A small group of people say the veterans are being exploited just so BC could get the bond.
