With the modern practice of early weaning, the gastrointestinal system of the neonatal pig has been pushed to its limit, resulting in numerous problems. This book covers the basic anatomy and histology of the gastrointestinal tract, and the postnatal growth and functional maturation of the gastrointestinal system in neonatal pigs.

This book covers anatomy & histology of the gastrointestinal tract, & postnatal growth & functional maturation of the gastrointestinal system in neonatal pigs. Also nutrition & metabolism during early postnatal period & issues concerning creep feeding & early weaning diets. Gastrointestinal disorders during pre- & post-weaning periods & the use of piglets as experimental models for studying such topics as total parenteral nutrition & prenatal growth retardation in human infants are discussed.
