In the mustelids which have a placenta of an endotheliochorial type, the mineral necessary for the foetal erythropoiesis comes to the foetus after the breakdown of the erythrocytes by the trophoblast, in placental hematoma. This experimental study, with 59Fe, shows that the main source of iron for the foetus is the maternal hemoglobin iron.
