Summary: | The second for the significance livestock sector is pig breeding, which accounts for one-third of the country’s meat production. Long-term world practice of pig farming confirms the high maturity of this species of animals, excellent taste, nutritious meat and most importantly the ability to quickly increase food production, and thereby ensure the optimal balance of the diet of the population. One of the constraining factors for the development of this industry is the development of iron deficiency alimentary anemia in pigs during the first 7 days of animal life, which affects the growth, development and increase of live weight in animals. Without preventive measures to supplement the iron with animals, up to 100% of piglets become sick with anemia, which can lead to the death of a significant part of the young population. This article presents the results of the toxicological approbation of a new iron-containing preparation for farm animals. The question of finding a less toxic iron preparation with a higher prolonging effect is relevant.
