Results
Haemoglobinaemia is linked to the parity rank and decreases all Discussion
along the career of the sows. The average BFL decreases from The drop in haemoglobinaemia with an increasing parity rank

levels are fatter (Figure 1). This relation is significant, even after (2). This newly discovered relation might be due to the dra-
adjustment for the parity (p=0.02). A positive effect of the matic increase in prolificacy over the past decades. The relation

causal link we favour the hypothesis of an insufficient nutritional
intake for both the build-up of body reserves and for restoring
the haemoglobinaemia. The injection of gleptoferron allows
partial compensation of the anaemia. This partial efficacy of
gleptoferron could be explained by an insufficient quantity of
iron injected.
