Development of small intestinal barrier function and underlying mechanism in Chinese indigenous and Duroc piglets during suckling and weaning periods

Animal Nutrition
This study explored the developmental changes in small intestinal barrier function and the potential regulatory roles of intestinal microbiota and metabolites in different breeds of piglets during suckling and weaning periods.

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 ...

Antagonistic Effect of Intestinal Bacteria from the Microflora of Holoxenic (Conventional) Piglets, Against Clostridium Perfringens in the Digestive Tract of Gnotoxenic Mice and Gnotoxenic Piglets [PDF]

, 1979
Antagonistic effect of piglet microflora against Clostridium perfringens was studied in germfree mice, to isolate bacterial strains responsible for this colonization resistance.

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 ...

Personalities in female domesticated pigs: behavioural and physiological indications [PDF]

, 2000
The inconclusive evidence so far on the existence of distinct personality types in domesticated pigs, led us to perform the present experiment. A total of 128 gilts from 31 sows were systematically studied from birth to slaughter in two identical trials.

Photovoltaic Stimulation of Mouse and Pig Retina With Pyrolytic Carbon Microelectrodes Integrated on High‐Density Silicon Solar Cell Arrays

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.

Kinship with Piglets

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.

RNA-seq analysis of small intestine transcriptional changes induced by starvation stress in piglets

Animal Biotechnology
Piglets may experience a variety of stress injuries, but the molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying these injuries are not well understood. In this study, we analysed the ileum of Large White (LW) and Mashen (MS) piglets at different times of ...

Rearing of newborn piglets in nests classified by their weight [PDF]

Caspian Journal of Environmental Sciences
Usually, the first to be born are larger piglets. They occupy the front nipples of the sow, which produce more milk. Small piglets are born later, and they have posterior low-milk nipples.
