Iron deficiency affects spatial learning in neonatal piglets
… of iron deficiency on cognition using neonatal piglets as a model for human infants, as neurodevelopment in piglets resembles that of humans. Piglets were fed one of three diets with varying concentrations of iron (Fe): adequate (6.3mg Fe/kg body weight [BW]), mildly deficient (1.5mg Fe/kg BW), …

Physiological and Behavioral Aspects of Thermoregulation in Diarrheic Piglets
… of normal, diarrheic and pyrogen-injected piglets aged 12 to 72 hours. The first experiment examined the thermal-environmental preference of diarrheic piglets exposed to a thermocline apparatus for 60 minutes. Diarrheic piglets on average preferred a lower ambient temperature than did …

A cultivable primate calicivirus causes enteric infections in gnotobiotic piglets
… of TV can be recapitulated in gnotobiotic piglets, (ii)Whether TV can be adapted to pig macrophage cell line, (iii)Whether macrophage-adapted TV has altered virulence in piglets, and (iv)Whether TV can be passed repeatedly in piglets. To determine the pathogenesis of TV in gnotobiotic …

Surgical castration in piglets: its impacts on pain and affective states
Surgical castration of young male piglets is an extremely common husbandry procedure in the United States swine industry, with nearly 100% of males castrated. The procedure is performed primarily to prevent the occurrence of boar taint in the meat and to reduce aggression as the animals age. No …

Route of Nutrient Administration Alters Intestinal Immune Cell Composition in Neonatal Piglets
… the model for the human infant. In experiment 1, piglets receiving TPN for seven days demonstrated compromised intestinal morphology and a greater number of intestinal CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocytes, goblet cells, and mast cells. An inverse correlation between T-lymphocyte numbers and intestinal …

The Life Cycle and Pathogenicity of Isospora Suis in Gnotobiotic and Conventionalized Piglets
… infections, young (mostly 2-3 day old) germfree piglets were inoculated orally with 2.4 x 10('5) sporulated oocysts. The effects of a "normal" bacterial intestinal flora on the infection was determined by conventionalization of some germfree piglets with a pathogen-free bacterial preparation. …

Effects of dietary intervention on inflammation and intrauterine growth restriction in neonatal piglets
… of fetal malnutrition and inflammation. Domestic piglets (Sus scrofa) were used as models to conduct the following studies, as they offer advantages in their anatomical and physiological similarity to human infants. The first study sought to determine if a pre-digested fat (PDF) system developed …

Sublethal Carbon Monoxide Toxicosis in Newborn Piglets and Weanling Pigs: Physiology, Behavior, and Performance
A total of two hundred eighteen pigs of two ages were used to determine the effects of elevated, sublethal atmospheric concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO) on physiologic, behavioral, and performance parameters.

Behavioral analysis of piglets exposed to a second immune challenge following maternal immune activation
… and MIA alone decreased social behaviors. Piglets were sensitized to behavior disruption in both sexes, with males being more sensitive to Poly(I:C) alone and females having heightened responses due to the combination of Poly(I:C) and MIA. Our findings demonstrate that MIA and Poly(I:C) …

Effects of 2ʹ-fucosyllactose on brain and cognitive development of intrauterine growth restricted piglets
… appropriate for gestational age (AGA, 1.3-1.8kg) piglets were acquired on postnatal day (PD) 2, placed in individual cages, and divided into two diet groups. One group was provided a sow milk replacer diet (300ml/kg/d) while the other received the same diet supplemented with 2′FL (1.17g/L). On PD …

Effects of Dietary Fiber on Neonatal Intestinal Development and Resistance to Salmonella Typhimurium Infection in Piglets
… S. typhimurium-infection-associated symptoms in piglets, maintained intestinal structure and function, enhanced innate and adapted immune response, and its addition to formula, could provide a cost-effective means to prevent and/or reduce bacterially-induced diarrheal diseases in neonates.

Effects of supplemental osteopontin on intestinal development and serum antibody responses to rotavirus vaccination in piglets

Intestinal Development and Gene Expression of Piglets Suckling Sows Transgenic for Human Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I
We have shown that piglets suckling IGF exhibit structural and functional changes similar to those observed in piglets receiving formula supplemented with IGF-I. The location and timing of the response to IGF-I differs from previous studies. Insulin like growth factor-I appeared to act via the type …
