Clinical and laboratory examinations were done on the effect of Coferan, a preparate containing iron dextran, copper chloride and vitamin B12, on body weight gains, healthy state and anaemia in piglets at a postnatal period. Piglets ageing from 3 days into 5 weeks were injected im or sc 2—3 ml of the preparate. Coferan when injected into 3—9 days old piglets protected them against anaemia and increased all the parameters of the red blood cell system. Irrespectively of the age of injected piglets Coferan increased body weight gains, decreased incidence of diarrhoea and losses of piglets at a postnatal period.
