| Popis: | Aim: To study the effect of iron dextran injection on growth performance of crossbred and desi piglets under farm and village conditions. Materials and Methods: The experiments were conducted in Pig Breeding Farm, Ranchi Veterinary College, Ranchi and different villages on crossbred and desi preweaned piglets. The piglets were divided into three treatment groups as T 1 (control), T2 (injected iron dextran @ 1 ml (50mg) I/M twice at 3rd and 14th days of age) and T3 (injected iron dextran @ 2 ml 2 3 (100mg) I/M once at 3rd day of age). Results: The average body weight of crossbred piglets in farm condition of T1 , T2 and T3 groups at weaning (8 week) were 7.162±0.365, 9.985±0.281 and 9.572±0.295 kg, respectively. The piglets of T2 group showed better performance over T3 and T1 groups in farm and village conditions on crossbred and desi piglets. Conclusion: On the basis of present findings it may be concluded that irondextran (50mg/ ml) injection should be given to all piglets @ 1 ml I/M during preweaning period at 3rd and 14th day of age for better growth of piglets.
