Das Göttinger Miniaturschwein als Versuchstier

Abstract: The miniature swine is steadily gaining prominence as a laboratory animal. This paper attempts to survey the existing literature concerning the Göttinger Minipig and to give some information about breeding, growth-rate and handling. Further studies dealing with the circulation (ECG, blood pressure and heart-rate) of conscious minipigs are reported. In this regard, the Göttinger Minipig is shown, to display a more favorable ratio between diastole and systole than normal swine.

“…The laboratory animals were eight healthy, full-grown minipigs (Göttingen Minipig®) [ 22 ], aged 24 to 30 months. In addition to the already described similarities in bone physiology, they show good postoperative healing assets and a high indolence after surgery [ 23 ]. All animals used in this study were specifically bred for laboratory animal use (Ellegaard Göttingen Minipigs A/S, Denmark).…”

“…The anatomical conditions like size, structure and functions of the heart of the Goettingen minipig approach those of humans allowing a transfer of the animal results obtained. The size of veins and coronary artery in these pigs are ideal for coronary artery surgery [ 9 ].…”

“…Fifty four minipigs (46 9, 8 d) were used with an average age of 49 (36-71) days and a mean weight of 3.2 (2.23-4.95) kg. The animals were raised at the Institute for Veterinary Hygiene of the University of Zürich (3). At age 3 weeks they were weaned from the mother and transferred to our laboratory where they stayed for a further 2 weeks.…”
