	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Tiger and Piglets
		The pictures are real, but the accompanying explanation about a mother tiger in California being given piglets to ease her through a depression stemming from the loss of her own cubs is fiction.
		The mixture of tiger and piglets depicted in the images above therefore was not something undertaken for functional reasons, but rather it's a common form of visual entertainment provided by the zoo for the amusement of its visitors.

	Baycox Literature Survey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Thirty-two piglets from three litters were experimentally inoculated with 200,000 sporulated oocysts of Isospora suis at 3 days of age and/or re-exposed at 19 days of age or given a primary inoculated at 19 days of age, to compare the role of acquired immunity and natural age resistance on the course of coccidiosis.
		The detection of I suis in piglets with diarrhoea was reduced from 84% in the untreated piglets to 6% in the piglets given the prophylactic treatment.
		On the basis of the clinical history of diarrhoeic disease in piglets, of the results of parasitological and pathological examination and of a differential diagnosis we identified as the causative agent of the diarrhoeic disease in piglets in large-scale pig breeding the coccidium Isospora suis (Apicomplexa, Eimeriidae).

		Two-thirds of the runt piglets were removed from their original litter and placed on a "nurse sow." The other one-third remained in their original litters.
		Piglets were weighed at the time nurse litters were formed, and two and eight days later.
		Mortality eight days after formation was 3% of piglets in nurse sow litters and 25% of runt piglets that had remained in their original litter.

		The bar with the asterisk is representative of only two of the small piglets infused with alanine because one of the piglets had no urine output during the last 2 h of the experiment.
		The increases from baseline (mean of h 2, 4 and 6) to maximum BUN for piglets infused with alanine (19.1 ± 2.2, A; 21.6 ± 3.3, B) are significantly different from the increases from baseline to the 24-h BUN for piglets infused with glucose (-1.9 ± 2.5, A; 1.8 ± 0.7, B), P < 0.001.
		The absolute increase from baseline to maximum blood alanine concentrations of the large piglets infused with alanine (6.9 ± 1.7) was significantly different from the change from baseline to the 24-h blood alanine concentration of the large piglets infused with glucose (0.03 ± 0.16), P = 0.006.

	Cross-fostering Piglets on Commercial Sow Farms
		At day 1 the frequency of fights between two resident piglets was similar to the frequency between a resident and adopted piglet, both of which were more frequent than between two adopted piglets.
		Resident piglets in cross-fostered litters were heavier than adopted piglets at days 16 and 18, but tended to be lighter than control piglets at weaning time.
		And transfer of piglets should occur before they are 24 to 48 hours old, preferably to a sow that has also recently given birth so that teat fidelity among piglets is not firmly established.

	Timing is critical when moving piglets from their mother to another sow
		"Piglets must not be fostered until about four to six hours after farrowing, so that they can receive a large dose of colostrum from their mother," says Johnston.
		Johnston cites Australian research indicating that a significantly higher proportion of piglets fostered within nine hours after birth are successful at nursing and nurse faster than piglets fostered two days after birth.
		The weight gain decrease is apparently due to the transferred piglet's inability to adjust to life with a new sow and littermates, aggression from the sow toward the new piglet and competition among new piglets and the resident piglets for milk.

	Animal Planet :: Sow Has 27 Piglets
		The mother's teats and belly are lacerated and infected by the persistent suckling of so many piglets, and in factory farm settings the sow is physically restricted and cannot take a break from the demands of her litter.
		To solve the problems caused by its own drive for productivity, the pig farming industry "clips" piglets' teeth down to the gum soon after birth, a practice that is painful and can lead to infection and poor feeding.
		ACMC Executive Chairman Stephen Curtis stated that sow "P1818" has produced a total of more than 100 piglets in her last five farrowings, and gave birth to 21 piglets in each of her last three litters.

		The piglets' DNA has been confirmed in independent tests to be identical to the donor, but different from the surrogate mother.
