Before farrowing, the sow’s diet impacts the health status:microbiota, oxidative status and immunity. Colostrumtransfers energy and passive immunity, to piglets, which are essential for developing its active immunity and survival, among others. Indeed, with more prolificacy, there is more competition...

Given the significant demand for a high-quality source of human hepatocytes and the regenerative potential of hepatocytes underin vivoconditions, genetically engineered animal models have been proposed for ‘farming’ human hepatocytes for use in future BAL devices. To this end, Azuma et al., engine...
Antibiotic growth promoter, in contrast to restorative uses of antimicrobials, is given to pigs consistently at much lower concentration bringing about upgraded pig farming. Antibiotic growth promoters, for example, tylosin, bacitracin, virginiamycin, and chlortetracycline have been utilized in piglets to ...
