The present invention relates to a composition in powder form comprising probiotic bacteria and at least one iron-milk protein complex. Such iron-milk protein complex advantageously does not cause significant reduction in the viability of the bacteria and thus such iron source is advantageously used to fortify a composition in powder form comprising probiotic bacteria.

The present invention relates to an iron carbohydrate complex for use in a method of increasing the blood haemoglobin concentration in a pregnant non-human mammal, wherein the pregnant non-human mammal having a blood haemoglobin level of 105 g/L or less, is administered one or more doses of iron carbohydrate complex comprising an amount of elemental iron of 1800 mg or more per dose. The method relates to the further effects of decreasing the rate of stillborn offsprings from a pregnant non-human mammal having a blood haemoglobin level of 105 g/L or less, increasing the blood haemoglobin concentration of offspring litters within 3 days from birth and/or weaning, or increasing the litter size in a subsequent parity of a non-human mammal having a blood haemoglobin level of 105 g/L or less.
