Shipping : Heavy
Sweet Iron, when fed according to directions, will support a healthy hemoglobin level in nursing pigs. A 21 day feeding study done at CN Laboratories in Courtland, Minnesota showed that Sweet Iron is capable of sustaining a healthy blood hemoglobin level in nursing pigs injected with 100 mg of iron at birth compared to those injected with 100 mg of iron at birth and at 7 days of age. In addition, Sweet Iron can be used as a vehicle to administer other oral compounds to nursing pigs since they will consume more than is required to supply adequate iron. Compounds such as vitamins, enzymes and probiotic preparations can all be mixed with Sweet Iron.
| Directions | Sprinkle 1/2 to 1-1/2 oz. Sweet Iron on a clean place on the floor or over the starter feed. A small amount can be used to increase starter feed consumption immediately after weaning by mixing 12.5 lbs of Sweet Iron per ton of complete starter feed. Acceptance will be improved if weaned pigs had access to sweet iron while nursing. |
