Use of the Hysterectomy-obtained SPF Pig for Nutritional Studies of the Neonate1

Donald L. Schneider and Herbert P. Sarett

Department of Nutritional Research, Mead Johnson Research Center, Evansville, Indiana

Facilities and procedures were developed for use of the hysterectomy-obtained SPF (specific pathogen free) baby pig in routine nutritional studies from birth under essentially disease-free conditions. This provides an animal which can be used for nutritional studies in the neonatal period as well as in later stages of growth and development. SPF pigs fed a simulated sow's milk formula in these special facilities gained weight and grew as well as has been reported for normally born and suckled pigs.

1 A preliminary report of these studies was given at the 49th Annual Meeting of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, Atlantic City, New Jersey, 1965.

Manuscript received 13 December 1965.
