Veterinary Record, 2005
REPORTS of conjoined or identical twins have been found exclusively in cattle (Arthur 1956). To the authors’ knowledge, identical twins have not yet been recorded in sheep, pigs, dogs or cats. This short communication describes a rare case of conjoined twins in newborn piglets in which the component parts were diplopagus (equal and symmetrical ...

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006
Abstract: Seventeen‐day‐old piglets in a small holding farm in southern Thailand manifested signs of convulsion, fever, and death. The morbidity and mortality rate were approximately 26.09% (6/23) and 4.35% (1/23), respectively. Impression smear from lungs demonstrated tachyzoite stage of Toxoplasma gondii.

Behavioural Processes, 1988
Domestic piglets living in multi-litter groups with their dams and other pigs in a large, socially and ecologically rich outdoor enclosure were observed, to obtain a quantitative description of the frequencies and sequences of behaviour patterns performed during play.

Estrogens and Piglet Viability. I. Serum Estrogen Concentrations in Piglets
Journal of Animal Science, 1982An experiment was conducted to establish estrogen (Es) levels in piglet serum up to 13 h after birth. Treated piglets were given an injection of estradiol benzoate into the vena cava immediately after birth. Control piglets were similarly injected with saline solution. Blood samples were obtained frequently for monitoring Es levels.

Behavioural responses of piglets to castration: the effect of piglet age
Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2001It has long been assumed that neonatal animals are less sensitive than older animals to pain, and this reasoning has been used to recommend that routine surgical procedures be performed at an early age. In this study we tested if vocal and other behavioural responses to castration increase with piglet age.

New Zealand Veterinary Journal, 1969
Abstract Extract Ovine toxoplasmosis is of importance in New Zealand where it is recognized as the most common cause of intrauterine infection leading to abortion and stillbirths (Hartley and Boyes, 1964). Although clinical disease is rare in humans, serological evidence shows a high incidence of subclinical infection with 50% of New Zealand adults ...

Estrogens and Piglet Viability. II. Effect of Estrogen on Piglet Viability
Journal of Animal Science, 1982The effect of estrogens (Es) on piglet viability was determined as measured by birth to suckling intervals. Starting on d 109 postbreeding daily blood samples were obtained from 15 Yorkshire sows, Immediately after birth, blood samples were taken from the umbilical cord (UC) and the vena cava (VC) of piglets, followed by injections via the VC of either

When is a piglet not a piglet?
The Journal of Hellenic Studies, 1991When it is a full-grown pig. Specifically we have to do with the word δελφάκιον, defined by LSJ as a ‘sucking pig’. Now, it is true that the word itself is a diminutive of δέλφαξ, and that a δέλφαξ is a fullgrown pig; but not every diminutive indicates something small or immature.

CRYPTOSPORIDIAL INFECTION OF PIGLETS
Australian Veterinary Journal, 1982SUMMARY Cryptosporidia were detected in the brush border of villous epithelium in the small intestine of 4 piglets 2 to 9 weeks old. Although the 4 piglets had been suffering from diarrhoea no specific role could be attributed to the cryptosporidia. Other than damage to the brush border there were no significant histological abnormalities in the small ...

The Journal of Hellenic Studies, 1996
In a note to volume cxi of this journal, I observed that the word , although a diminutive, did not at all periods describe a piglet. In the classical period, it seems to have meant a small but not necessarily immature pig; in Hellenistic Delos and in Egypt, a pig fullgrown or nearly so, apparently synonymous with the non-diminutive ; then by the first ...
