The Effects of Carbadox, a Synthetic Antimicrobial Agent, on Bile Acid Metabolism in The Domestic Pig

In order to study the bile acids of the young pig as they go through enterohepatic circulation without altering bile flow from the gall bladder, a surgical technique was developed to place indwelling catheters into the hepatic portal vein (HP) which allowed multiple sampling of the blood and did not affect the performance of the pigs. An indwelling catheter was also placed in the anterior vena cava vein (VC).
