AnimalDelivering piglets is one of the most energy-demanding activities sows undergo in their lifetime. Sows can have myometrial contractions from 2 to 12 h before the first piglet is expelled as well as a nest-building behavior. Thus, when the first piglet is

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.In this study, Hammer et al. highlight cyclic‐arginine surface engineering as a highly biocompatible, controllable, and concentration‐dependent regulator of intravitreal nanoparticle mobility in vivo in a translational large animal model. The cyclic arginine surface‐modification supports the development of next‐generation biomaterials for long‐acting ...

Vocal response of piglets to weaning: effect of piglet age
Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 1997 Piglets vocalize a great deal during the first few days after weaning. The aim of this experiment was to determine if the calls given by piglets vary in response to one factor thought to influence post-weaning adaptation: weaning age. In 22 litters, each containing a minimum of 9 piglets, 3 piglets were weaned under identical conditions at 3, 4 and 5 ...

Water‐Soluble, Enzyme‐Degradable, and Hydrolyzable STAR Particles for Enhanced Drug Delivery to Skin
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Biodegradable polymer STAR particles fabricated from water‐soluble, enzyme‐degradable, and hydrolyzable materials significantly enhance intradermal drug delivery. By replacing conventional non‐biodegradable materials, these STAR particles address environmental and safety concerns while expanding the potential of skin‐based drug delivery technologies ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.In this study, we fabricate photovoltaic retinal implants with pyrolytic carbon electrodes and test their ability to stimulate mouse and pig retinas when illuminated with near‐infrared light. We find increased spiking activity in both animal models compared to spontaneous activity and TTX controls and analyze the spike amplitude, latency and frequency.

Phenomenology & Practice, 2023 Our own animately e/motional bodies are yearning for relationships with other bodies of the more-than-human kind. To support this opinion, I describe an intra-action caring for three rescued piglets that led to an awareness of human animal and animal-other relationships.

Unraveling piglet gut microbiota dynamics in response to feed additives [PDF]
, 2010 Keywords: GI tract, microbiota, pig, PITChip, weaning The gastrointestinal (GI) tract of pigs is colonized by a dense and metabolically active microbiota, comprising mainly bacteria, that have not only a commensal but a symbiotic (beneficial for both ...
