Iron supplementation of piglets with oral galactan given as a single dose within 24 hours of birth was evaluated in a series of on farm trials. The growth rate of piglets receiving this treatment was faster than that of piglets receiving single injections of iron dextran or iron galactan at 3 days of age, or ferrous sulphate crystals orally at weekly intervals. Mean values for red cell parameters of oral iron galactan supplemented piglets at 2 to 4 weeks of age were lower than those of injected piglets but there was no clinical evidence of anaemia in any of the piglets.
在一系列农场试验中，对出生后24小时内单剂量口服半乳聚糖的仔猪进行铁补充剂评估。接受这种治疗的仔猪的生长速度比在3日龄时接受右旋糖酐铁或半乳聚糖铁单次注射，或每周口服硫酸亚铁晶体的仔猪更快。口服半乳聚糖铁补充剂的仔猪在2至4周龄时红细胞参数的平均值低于注射仔猪，但没有任何仔猪出现贫血的临床证据。
