"Baby pigs are born with a smaller store of iron than most youngs animals. Their supply of iron will sustain hemoglobin production for a limited period. Sow’s milk is an extremely poor source of iron. Nursing pigs are reared in confinement, so contact with iron from soil is eliminated.Iron is vital component in hemoglobin formation. Without supplemental iron, body stores will not last very long. Compared to other domestic mammals, the baby pig has a tremendeous ability to grow. Rapid growth rate requires iron to maintain adequate hemoglobin. Anemia lowers the resistance of the pigs to disease and respiratory problems. So, iron should be provided to piglets before weaning.Inorganic mineral forms due to their poor bioavailability are not completely absorbed by baby pigs. So, the need for bioavailable iron supplement for pre-weaned pigs was felt. It resulted in biotechnology innovation, AVISHI FERRO!''
