Anatomy & Physiology
Similar to humans (organs, size, cardiovascular system, GI tract, nutrient requirements)
Minipigs more manageable size Reach sexual maturation earlier
than domestic pigs
Firm nose – reinforced with cartilage Hooves with 4 toes – trimming required Canines on male pigs “tusks” –
periodic trimming required, grow continuously

Farrowing
Farrowing crate – protects piglets from being smothered or crushed by sow
Piglets highly susceptible to chilling (hypothermia) – supplemental heat source required
![Page 11: Chapter 26 - Swineularnews.osu.edu/files/2011/02/2013-ALAT-Session-15-Chapters-26-… · Swine in Biomedical Research Exercise physiology, nutrition, atherosclerosis, diabetes, transplantation,](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071112/5fe90532b1752500443c5839/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Handling & Restraint
Minipigs & Micropigs Similar to dogs Handled gently, held
like a small child Crouch to approach Easily trained – food
treats
Domestic pigs Usually not well
socialized to humans Restraint may require
2 or more people Struggle & scream –
hearing protection Can be trained w/
more effort

![Page 14: Chapter 26 - Swineularnews.osu.edu/files/2011/02/2013-ALAT-Session-15-Chapters-26-… · Swine in Biomedical Research Exercise physiology, nutrition, atherosclerosis, diabetes, transplantation,](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071112/5fe90532b1752500443c5839/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Behavior – Domestic Pigs
Social animal w/ little herding instinct Can become aggressive w/ little warning Acclimate to humans w/ regular exposure Intelligent and cooperate in training w/ food Strong jaws – teeth are principal defense
![Page 15: Chapter 26 - Swineularnews.osu.edu/files/2011/02/2013-ALAT-Session-15-Chapters-26-… · Swine in Biomedical Research Exercise physiology, nutrition, atherosclerosis, diabetes, transplantation,](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071112/5fe90532b1752500443c5839/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Behavior – Minipigs & Microswine
Very social animals Respond to gentle handling Important for staff to socialize – reduces stress and
makes them more comfortable Quickly get into daily routines Respond to positive reinforcement
Ear/belly scratching
![Page 16: Chapter 26 - Swineularnews.osu.edu/files/2011/02/2013-ALAT-Session-15-Chapters-26-… · Swine in Biomedical Research Exercise physiology, nutrition, atherosclerosis, diabetes, transplantation,](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071112/5fe90532b1752500443c5839/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Behavior
Prefer a clean environment Defecate in corner or pen in wet
area, near water source Place feeders away from water to
minimize soiling of feed Vocalization does not always
indicate pain/distress Establish dominant hierarchies early
in life – fighting can be a problem in group housed animals (young boars)
![Page 17: Chapter 26 - Swineularnews.osu.edu/files/2011/02/2013-ALAT-Session-15-Chapters-26-… · Swine in Biomedical Research Exercise physiology, nutrition, atherosclerosis, diabetes, transplantation,](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071112/5fe90532b1752500443c5839/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Signs of Pain, Distress, or Illness
Unwilling to move or may become aggressive Squeal when a painful area is touched Subtle changes in behavior or gait Check the animals when they are active or eating
![Page 18: Chapter 26 - Swineularnews.osu.edu/files/2011/02/2013-ALAT-Session-15-Chapters-26-… · Swine in Biomedical Research Exercise physiology, nutrition, atherosclerosis, diabetes, transplantation,](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071112/5fe90532b1752500443c5839/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Husbandry
Groups should be limited to 10-15 and avoid moving animals between groups
Ensure adequate water and food access Rooting – Durable materials, objects secured to
pens Canine runs suitable for smaller pigs – check
slatted or mesh flooring Concrete flooring an option – hoof trimming still
needed
![Page 19: Chapter 26 - Swineularnews.osu.edu/files/2011/02/2013-ALAT-Session-15-Chapters-26-… · Swine in Biomedical Research Exercise physiology, nutrition, atherosclerosis, diabetes, transplantation,](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071112/5fe90532b1752500443c5839/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Housing
Domestic pigs can be housed outdoors in moderate climates – lower initial cost Portable shelters or open-front sheds Fencing should be chain link or panel type – woven
wire easily destroyed Access to shade in summer, cooling ponds
Minipigs & Microswine are housed indoors in controlled climate Housed in groups, segregated by gender
![Page 20: Chapter 26 - Swineularnews.osu.edu/files/2011/02/2013-ALAT-Session-15-Chapters-26-… · Swine in Biomedical Research Exercise physiology, nutrition, atherosclerosis, diabetes, transplantation,](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071112/5fe90532b1752500443c5839/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Handling & Restraint
Sheep are gregarious and flock in herd Timid and nervous – run together from perceived
danger following any leader Turn toward “danger” as a group
![Page 34: Chapter 26 - Swineularnews.osu.edu/files/2011/02/2013-ALAT-Session-15-Chapters-26-… · Swine in Biomedical Research Exercise physiology, nutrition, atherosclerosis, diabetes, transplantation,](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071112/5fe90532b1752500443c5839/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Handling & Restraint
Never grasp by wool – injury & painful Work into corner and form barrier Catch under jaw, straddle, press against wall
Sheep tipping – sheep chair If recumbent for procedures – ensure hindquarters are lower
than forequarters

Handling & Restraint
Scatter instead of flock when alarmed Mature bucks can be aggressive and
unpredictable Manual restraint similar to sheep
Can be “tamed” easier than sheep – fit with collar
Tails and horns can be injured – grasp horns by the base
Bucket of feed follow you anywhere

Behavior
Highly social animals – strong social hierarchy
Active & inquisitive – more destructive than sheep
Agile – jump, climb, crawl under Frightened goat – stamp feet
and raise hair on back, high-pitched sneezing

Housing
Either group or individually housed
Primary housed in stainless steel caging systems
Outdoor housing possible Caging must meet regulatory
requirements for space and design (perches, climbing devices, enrichment, etc)
![Page 72: Chapter 26 - Swineularnews.osu.edu/files/2011/02/2013-ALAT-Session-15-Chapters-26-… · Swine in Biomedical Research Exercise physiology, nutrition, atherosclerosis, diabetes, transplantation,](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071112/5fe90532b1752500443c5839/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Housing
Appropriate sanitation of cages and surrounding area important to minimize the spread of disease
NHPs throw and drop feces, or smear the enclosure Slatted flooring allows feces to drop through
enclosure Uneaten food and feces usually removed BID Cages sanitized every 2 weeks – requires safe and
simple cage transfer system

Diet
Vitamin C is essential in most NHP diets – unable to produce naturally
Commercially formulated diets fortified with Vit C
Deteriorates quickly – do not feed 90 days past milling date, some require refrigeration
Daily food allowance should be split Fresh fruit and vegetables given as
treats
![Page 74: Chapter 26 - Swineularnews.osu.edu/files/2011/02/2013-ALAT-Session-15-Chapters-26-… · Swine in Biomedical Research Exercise physiology, nutrition, atherosclerosis, diabetes, transplantation,](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071112/5fe90532b1752500443c5839/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Diet
New World Monkeys also require a source of vitamin D3
Fresh water should be available at all times May be necessary to train new animals to automatic
water systems

Enrichment
Mandated by the Animal Welfare Act for NHPs
Required to develop a plan which will “promote the psychological well-being of primate”
Enrichment programs should provide opportunity to groom, forage for treats, and manipulate novel objects
Social contact when possible Contact with humans can also be
enrichment for some species
