Effect of iron-saccharin injections of Finnish horses.
In four training stables five trotter horses of the Finnish coldblooded breed and seven warmblooded trotters were treated with a ferrissaccharin preparation (Hippiron, Hausmann) intravenously. A short increase in heart frequency after the injection was noted. The cold solution injections, less than + 15 degrees C, may cause dangerous reactions. All horses showed an enhanced appetite, a substantially livier habitus after treatment.
