مستخلص: Iron-deficiency anaemia in piglets causes significant losses in animal production. Although this pathology has already been extensively investigated for several decades, we are still looking for best prevention methods. Currently, molecular techniques are being used to study iron absorption in the body. Biochemical and haematological tests, however, continue to be the basis for diagnosis. The latest generation of haematology analysers make it possible to predict the function of the red cell system on the basis of reticulocyte parameters. Mean reticulocyte haemoglobin content deserves special attention. This parameter is commonly used in human medicine, and may also be applicable in veterinary studies, especially in diagnosing iron deficiency anaemia in piglets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
