Effect of Iron Supplementation on Growth Performance, Hematological Parameters, Nutrient Utilization, Organ Development, and Fe-Containing Enzyme Activity in Pekin Ducks.

In conclusion, iron deficiency impaired growth performance, physiological indexes, nutrient utilization, and antioxidant system, while dietary 71.25~82.80 mg/kg iron for starter ducks and 75.00~89.41 mg/kg iron for grower ducks were suggested to improve growth performance.
