Quality diets for laboratory animals: mini pigs
Miniature pigs and humans have similar skeletal size, skin,
teeth, gastrointestinal tract, heart position and blood
supply, making mini pigs excellent research animals for
laboratory studies. With long life spans, they are particularly
appropriate for studies on cardiovascular disease, gerontology
and toxicology. Mini pigs have also been valuable in studies
on reproductive physiology, endocrinology, dental research
and radiation effects.
