The pH and microflora of the contents of the stomach and small intestine were studied in iron-treated and iron-deficient piglets. Compared with their iron-treated littermates, the gut contents at several sites in iron-deficient animals had a higher pH and contained greater numbers of coliforms, lactobacilli, total aerobes and total anaerobes. The possible relationship of these findings to previous findings in such animals and to their high incidence of diarrhoea is discussed.
对经铁处理和缺铁的仔猪的胃及小肠内容物的pH值和微生物区系进行了研究。与经铁处理的同窝仔猪相比，缺铁动物几个部位的肠道内容物pH值更高，且含有更多的大肠菌群、乳酸杆菌、需氧菌总数和厌氧菌总数。讨论了这些发现与此前在这类动物中的发现及其腹泻高发率之间可能存在的关系。
