ABSTRACT
A 270 sow herd cut down feed costs by lowering Vitamin E and Selenium that was changed from an organic to an inorganic form. Several months later two week newborn batches were affected by a deadly hemorragic clinical entity developed 6 hours after a normal iron dextran injection. The brand of the iron came from a 2 year supplier, a world renown manufacturer. A therapeutic diagnosis was applied satisfactorily.
