Weaning Stress Aggravates Defense Response and the Burden of Protein Metabolism in Low-Birth-Weight Piglets

Animals
The effect of low birth weight (LBW) on piglet development has been widely demonstrated. However, the reasons for the significant decline in the growth performance of LBW piglets after weaning remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the

Classification of Sows for Longevity Based on Total Number of Piglets Born Alive in the First Parities [PDF]

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology
The aim of this study was to classify the sows for longevity based on the total number of piglets born alive in the first parities. Data comprising the period from January 2017 to March 2020 were obtained from a commercial farm with 5,500 sows.

Sulphur-isotope compositions of pig tissues from a controlled feeding study [PDF]

, 2017
Sulphur-isotope determinations are becoming increasingly useful for palaeodietary reconstruction, but knowledge of isotopic discrimination between diet and various tissues remains inadequate. In this study, we explore the sensitivity of δ34Stissue values

Tunable Applicator for Microneedle‐Based Medical Devices

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This paper presents a simple, low‐cost tunable applicator (TAPP) for microneedle array patches that uses a material‐agnostic controlled‐fracture mechanism to ensure reliable skin penetration and uniform array engagement. The scalable, modular design is compatible with injection molding and 3D printing, can be integrated directly into patches, and is ...

Alloxan Diabetes in the Piglet [PDF]

Nature, 1957
LUKENS1 depancreatized young pigs, and found that the diabetic state which followed was characterized by a slight or absent fasting glucose-excretion, and a low fasting nitrogen-excretion. Ketonuria was marked, but was not accompanied by severe acidosis.

Dual‐Functional Ingestible Passive Capsules for High‐Throughput Intestinal Sampling with Sealed Containment and Targeted Drug Delivery

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
To address challenges in high‐throughput intestinal sampling with sealed containment and target drug delivery, we developed a dual‐functional ingestible passive capsule with a dual‐triggered control system based on pH‐response and mechanical actuation.
