These formulations are medicinal products and therefore prescribable in organic producing farms. Although iron dextran is not allowed through the EU Regulation 834/07 there are no restrictions about medicinal products. Used as feed additive iron dextran is prohibited. Oral administration of iron pastes is common in some organic farms. This paper deals with oral administration of iron pastes containing only approved feed additives like iron oxid or iron sulfate. 22 litters were included.

| Due to the supplementation of zinc to their diets, Parakeratosis is rarely found in pigs. On an organic farm in Austria a farmer altered the pig’s fattening diet and omitted mineral supplementation from the diets. Three weeks later skin alterations were seen. After the administration of tetracyclin and Ivomec-premix by a veterinarian the skin abnormalities failed to improve and the pig’s feed intake decreased markedly. The veterinarian diagnosed parakeratosis. After administration of zincoxid feed intake increased. 6-8 weeks after treatment the pig`s skin alterations disappeared and health was restored. |
