Product Information

Spinal cord - The other part of the CNS. It extends from the brain as a narrowed bore tube, through the spinal canal to the tail. Between each of the vertebra, which make up the spine itself, it sends branches out to different parts of he body. The spinal cord is responsible for transmitting the electrical impulses from the brain to these branches. Anesthetic: An agent that induces loss of feeling or sensation, especially the loss of pain sensation. Used during surgery or a painful procedure (e.g. castration). Examples include lidocaine (local anesthetic), isoflurane (general anesthetic). Proteins— the nutrients that supply the building materials from which body tissue and many body regulators are made

Plasma sample- A whole blood sample taken hygienically with a syringe and mixed with an anti-clotting agent so that it remains liquid. The sample is spun fast in a centrifuge and the red and white blood cells sediment to a firm pellet at the bottom leaving a clear liquid - the plasma. Animal Welfare: How an animal is coping physically, physiologically and psychologically with the conditions in which it lives. Physically includes pain and injury; physiologically includes environmental or disease stressors; and psychologically includes stressors that affect the senses, especially those that result in fear, fighting, distress or stereotypic behaviours due to either frustration or boredom. Animal welfare refers to the state of the animal; the treatment that an animal receives is covered by other terms such as animal care, animal husbandry, and humane treatment. Creep Area: Separate area within a farrowing crate in which piglets are protected from crushing or overlying by the sow, and which is usually heated. PRN - As needed. Typically used in reference to medications that aren't needed on a daily or scheduled basis but only occasionally.

Spike The Pig Lovey

Grouping: The process of combining individual pigs or sows, or smaller groups of established pigs or sows together. Epididymis - A coiled tube attached to the upper surface of the testicle where the sperm is stored. The sperm leaving it enters the vas deferens. It has a head and a tail. The tail can be cut off (epidectomy) to sterilise the boar.

Serology- Tests done in the laboratory to detect the level of specific antibodies in serum samples. ("ology" means study of - so literally serology means "study of serum").Corpora haemorrhagica - When the follicle ruptures to release the egg there is a small amount of haemorrhage. This is the name given to the bloody tissues that remain. The instinctive response of pigs to a potential threat, such as being moved/handled by humans, can be eitherfight, flight or freeze. It is important to try and avoid triggering one of these responses. First, start out with a few fun farm animal books for kids. This list includes some of our favorites that toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary children will love! Pasteurella- Bacteria found as normal inhabitants of the upper respiratory tract. They often cause secondary infections, for example, followingMycoplasma hyopneumoniaeinfection. There are two common speciesP. haemolyticaandP. multocidiathe latter being the common one in pigs. Both the front and hind trotters can be cooked and eaten. They are colloquially known as "pigs feet" in the Southern United States [8] and as manitas de cerdo in Spanish-speaking regions.

Shovels, brooms and anything else left in walk ways can be perceived as a threat.Pigs will stop and examine items, which can disrupt flow. Before moving your pigs, walk the route and remove any obstacles or equipment that could stop the flow of pigs. Plan ahead Voluntary or skeletal muscle - This is the main muscle mass forming the muscular-skeletal system. These muscles are attached to the surface membrane covering bones called the periosteum. Inflammation of this covering is called periostitis.Involuntary or smooth muscle - Found in the digestive and genital systems and the blood vessel walls. Both handrails have their benefits, but which style you prefer depends on whether you want your handrail to attach directly to the wall and whether you have a narrow staircase Growth hormone- Responsible for promoting growth of most tissues throughout the body. It is produced by the pituitary gland in association with the hypothalamus. Urethritis - inflammation of the urethra, the tube which carries both sperm and urine down the penis in the boar or urine from the bladder to the vagina in the sow. Urethritis is uncommon in the boar but can occasionally be caused by small calculi or stones formed in the kidneys. The urethra of the sow is much more likely to become contaminated and infected because its opening is so close to the vulva. Urethritis and cystitis are therefore common in the sow. Nursery: The facility where weaned pigs are housed until they move to the next phase of production.

All-In/All-Out: A production system whereby animals are moved into and out of facilities and/or between production phases in distinct groups. The cuts of pork are the different parts of the pig which are consumed as food by humans. The terminology and extent of each cut varies from country to country. There are between four and six primal cuts, which are the large parts in which the pig is first cut: the shoulder (blade and picnic), loin, belly (spare ribs and side) and leg. [1] [2] These are often sold wholesale, as are other parts of the pig with less meat, such as the head, feet and tail. Retail cuts are the specific cuts which are used to obtain different kinds of meat, such as tenderloin and ham. There are at least 25 Iberian pork cuts, including jamón. [3] Cuts [ edit ] Head [ edit ] The various mechanisms that protect the pig from infectious agents can be considered in six groups: Embryo - The multicellular organism that develops in the uterus from the fertilised egg up to about 20-30 days when it becomes a foetus. Abscess- Area of pneumonia containing pus where the infection has been sealed off from the remainder of the lung tissue by a fibrous capsule.
