  • Title: [Gnotobiotic delivery and raising of piglets of the Göttinger miniature swine breed].
    Author: Waldmann KH.
    Journal: Tierarztl Prax Suppl; 1988; 3():84-92. PubMed ID: 3368903.
    Abstract:
    Germfree delivery and maintenance of two litters of Göttingen miniature pigs as well as equipment for operation, isolation and rearing are described. For a successful utilization of Göttingen miniature pigs following points have to be considered: 1. Hysterotomy has to take place on 113th day of gestation. For that reason it is absolutely necessary to know the exact date of mating and medical steps against spontaneous farrowing have to be taken. 2. In addition to extradural anaesthesia a light general anaesthesia is required to avoid sow losses in consequence of excitement and following circulatory collapse. 3. In the rearing isolator there have to be installations which allow an individual feeding of the piglets without fixation. In their first days of life newborn piglets should be handled as little as possible.
