Short summary
During pregnancy, iron requirements increase for optimal placental and fetal growth, the expansion of maternal red-cell mass, and to prevent complications related to maternal iron deficiency anemia. Red-cell parameters and iron status provide consistent additional information for the diagnosis of iron deficiency conditions. The aim of this work was to evaluate the serum iron status and its relation to hematological indexes in pregnant mares. Blood samples were taken from 31 Spanish Purebreds.
