Iron is an important trace element for the body. As part of the heme group, iron contributes to transport of oxygen from the lungs to the cells, making it a key element in the body's energy metabolism.
Iron deficiency has a major impact on the performance and well-fare of animals. A pronounced deficiency is known as 'anemia', but there is also a form of iron deficiency in which animals do not show obvious signs of anaemia, and yet do not perform at their full potential.
