Piglet anemia can be controlled by using iron drugs. Anemia is a condition where the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells to carry sufficient oxygen to the body's tissues. Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. By supplementing the piglets with iron, the red blood cell production can be increased, helping to overcome anemia.
Antibiotics may also be used in some cases if there is an underlying bacterial infection causing the anemia. Anthelmintics may also be used if the anemia is caused by a parasite infestation. However, sulphur drugs are not typically used to treat piglet anemia.
