Hematological parameters (mean ± SD) of piglets supplemented with iron dextran according to various protocols.

RBC – red blood cells count, HGB - hemoglobin level, HCT - hematocrit, MCV - mean cell volume, MCH - mean corpuscular hemoglobin, MCHC - mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. A, B, and C – experimental groups (n = 9 each) described in the legend to Figure 1. Hematological parameters were determined for 9 piglets from each experimental group. Different capital and small letters denotes 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.
