About Baycox Iron
Baycox™ Iron Injection contains a combination of toltrazuril and high-quality iron (gleptoferron), that is proven to prevent the clinical signs of coccidiosis in piglets. While providing concurrent prevention of iron deficiency anaemia1, Baycox™ Iron has been shown to result in significantly higher absorption and bioavailability than iron dextran.2,3
This combined solution of two common piglet challenges has welfare benefits for the pigs through reduced handling stress, and efficiency benefits for producers by reducing the number of management procedures required.
