Anemia is a clinical condition which occurs at low levels of total hemoglobin, or reduction of the hemoglobin count and / or the erythrocytes in peripheral blood. The deficiency of iron in the diet is a factor that contributes to the development of anemia, so-called ferropenic anaemia. This study aimed to raise about the possible causes of ferropenic anaemia in New World primates and thus help professionals who work in the area of neotropic simian breeding. The bibliographic survey revealed that a diet low in iron, and the presence of hemoparasites and injuries in general, are the most relevant predisposing factors to the establishment of anemia in the New World primates. With the data collected, direct the clinical management of such animals; verify need for supplementary feeding in the routine of creation; improve the management of reproductive pregnant for the prevention of diseases resulting from lack of iron; formulate an appropriate menu so to improve the use of railways sources, and determine possible hematozoários of triggers of iron deficiency anemia in primates, assisting in the development of experimental protocols, will be possible. Therefore,in order to maintain serum levels of iron for the studied gender in their standards of normality, it is crucial to implement a preventive health management program. (AU)
