There is evidence that pigs are becoming more favoured over other types of large research animals, such as dogs, which have historically been used as a standard animal model in areas such as training for surgery and cardiovascular research. In brain research, scientists are increasingly using pigs to study brain diseases - sometimes instead of ...
Mar 25, 2011 · In fact, pigs have increasingly been used throughout all development stages to assess the preclinical safety of mechanical implements such as stents or mechanical heart valves. 7 The current ISO guidelines indicate that the pig is a suitable, if not preferred, model for testing local effects after implantation. 7 In the field of food safety, pigs are used throughout the discovery and ...

At an increasing rate, pigs have also been used as a model species in biomedical research. Pigs are readily available in various mature sizes and genotypic/phenotypic traits, and there are many anatomic, nutritional and physiologic similarities between human beings and pigs. Many notable reviews summarizing the role of pigs in biomedical ...
