Feron 200 + VB12 is for the treatment and control of iron deficiency anaemia in piglets. Feron 200 + VB12 contains Iron Dextran and a Vitamin B12 compound, Cyanocobalamin. This combination makes Feron an ideal supplement for newborn piglets to support their health and productivity.

Iron deficiency anaemia is the most prevalent deficiency disorder throughout the early postnatal period in piglets and can frequently develop into a critical illness if left untreated. Newborn piglets have limited iron supply and sows milk only provides minute amounts of iron. Low iron levels results in reduced haemoglobin in red blood cells and subsequently, lower oxygen carrying capacity and illthrift. Piglets are likely to scour and are more susceptible to disease. Vitamin B12 also plays an intrinsic role in the formation of red bloods cells and therefore the prevention of anaemia.
