Due to its close physiological and morphological resemblance to man, the pig occupies an important position in biomedical research. The minipig lends itself particularly well to germfree research. It is easy to deliver, maintain, and utilize in isolators. The colostrum-free, newborn germfree piglet lacking passively obtained antibodies is of an exclusive use if distinguishing the factors of natural and adaptive immunity is needed. It fits also well in studies investigating the earliest mechanisms of antibody synthesis. Under germfree conditions, the pig has been proved an excellent model for testing the action of ionizing radiation as well as of selected bacterial strains when monoassociated. Recently, conventional pigs have been used also for studies in total or selective decontamination of the intestinal tract by antibiotics and strict isolation.
