Sweet Iron® Feed Supplement for Nursing Pigs

Promotes Balanced Nutrition in Nursing and Weaned Pigs

Sweet Iron® is a moist oral iron supplement with trace minerals for nursing pigs. Highly palatable and helps control anemia. 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.
