Clean Dirt Stops Anemia In Baby Pigs
Dr. James R. Ferguson of the University of Maryland recommends clean dirt as an iron source to prevent anemia in suckling pigs. A simple regimen uses a double handful of dirt in the creep feeder at day 3, then 4 more handfuls plus a handful of creep feed to encourage grain intake and iron sufficiency. North Dakota studies confirm soil is as effective as chemical preparations for preventing baby pig anemia.
