Plasma iron parameters of piglets supplemented with iron dextran according to various protocols.

<p>A; plasma iron level. B; total iron binding capacity. C; iron transferrin saturation. Values are expressed as the means ± S.D. Plasma iron parameters were determined for 9 piglets from each experimental group. Different capital and small letters denote statistically significant difference at P≤0.01 and P≤0.05, respectively, between parameters of piglets from different groups on a given day of experiment.
