Percent fat and percent fat free lean of pigs differing in early-life iron status. Early-life iron status did not affect body composition in young pigs despite differences in overall bodyweight. No effects of dietary iron status were observed for percent carcass fat (p = 0.322) or percent carcass fat-free lean (p = 0.347). Abbreviations: CONT, control; ID, iron deficient; PND, postnatal day.
