Our mission is to bring joy and happiness to pig lovers everywhere by fostering meaningful connections between people and pigs. Located in San Antonio, Texas, we breed and sell piglets, operate a Piggy Petting Zoo, and aim to educate new pig parents through YouTube videos and blog posts. We also sell our signature Mini Pig Harness on our website and Amazon. We believe pigs have a special way of filling hearts with love and companionship. Through education, community, and compassionate care, we help guide new pig parents on their pig-parenting journey, ensuring happy, healthy pigs and joyful experiences for all. Don't Make These Mistakes -   https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigs             Autumn is joined by Billy and Serina from Joy of Pigs Co. They never planned on becoming pig people—it just happened! Their journey started when they moved to Texas to homestead, and what began as a simple desire to add animals to their farm quickly turned into a full-blown passion for pigs.            They share how they got their very first pig completely by chance—a random encounter at a feed store led to them bringing home a little potbelly.  Like many new pig owners, they had a steep learning curve, from underestimating a pig's strength to the heartbreak of their first pig escaping.            But their love for pigs only grew, leading them to start a responsible breeding program and even create a pig petting experience. They discovered that people weren't just interested in buying pigs—they wanted to spend time with them.  They also talk about the challenges of mobile pig visits and why they ultimately decided to keep their pig experiences on-site. Their story is a perfect example of how pigs can truly change your life in ways you never expect.           Tune in for an inspiring conversation about the joys and lessons of pig ownership!

Joining the PigX Podcast for February are Dr. Chris Rademacher, a Clinical Associate Professor and Swine Extension Veterinarian at Iowa State University, to help lead the discussion with Dr. Tom Petznick, a vet owner and veterinarian at ARK-CARE. The focus throughout this month is on the Porcine Sapovirus but, more specifically, the history of PSaV, where we are currently at in our PSaV research, and where we see this virus heading in the future.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is a significant disease and cost the swine industry some $660 million annually. For multiple decades, the industry has had its hands tied when it comes to PRRS but new research out of Pipestone shows that may no longer be the case, and in fact, producers may now the ones in charge of the virusJoining us to share newly released details on a study looking at whether the application of a comprehensive, science-based approach to breeding herd biosecurity, known as next-generation biosecurity, could reduce the PRRS risk across a large commercial production company is Dr. Scott Dee.For more information: javma-javma.23.08.0437.pdfThis episode of Feedstuffs in Focus is sponsored by United Animal Health, a leader in animal health and nutrition.

Managing canine diabetes Giving your dog a long, happy life Symptoms of diabetes  Excessive thirst (drinking water)  Increased urination Weight loss (even if eating well)  Decreased appetite  Cloudy eyes  Chronic or frequent infections, including skin and urinary infections  Learning your dog has diabetes can feel like a punch to your gut. Up to 1% of all dogs may develop diabetes during their lifetime. While this is a serious diagnosis, treatment options and management strategies can give your dog a long, quality life.  Diabetes mellitus revolves around a lack of insulin or a lack of the body's response to insulin. Insulin therapy is a mainstay of treatment. Understanding your dog's prognosis As with so many canine health problems, early diagnosis is key to your dog living a full life. Caught early, with treatment started right away and careful monitoring, many dogs with diabetes live full, active lives. The battle will be more difficult with dogs who have these issues:  Phosphate levels Dogs who have high levels of phosphate in their blood at the time of diagnosis tend to have a slightly less positive prognosis. The exact reason for this is unknown, but it emphasizes the need for a complete blood chemistry panel at the time of diagnosis.   Medical history Dogs who are more than 10-years-old, overweight, have a history of pancreatitis or are battling hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing's disease) are more likely to have problems.  Dogs with hypothyroidism have a slightly higher risk of becoming diabetic, and any dog who has required treatment with glucocorticoids for long periods of time is also at risk.   Breeding A study from the United Kingdom suggested that Border Terriers, West Highland White Terriers and Cocker Spaniels had lower survival times than Border Collies.  Tibetan Terriers, Cairn Terriers and Samoyeds are also considered high-risk breeds for diabetes.   Females  While female dogs have a higher risk of developing diabetes, if they are spayed, they can be managed quite well.  Starting therapy After your dog has been definitively diagnosed with diabetes, treatment with insulin will be the starting point. Dogs who are ill may need to be hospitalized and started with rapid-acting insulin injections. Most dogs will be feeling relatively well and can start treatment at home under veterinary guidance.  Customizing treatment for diabetics is essential. Individual dogs may respond to one type of insulin but not another. Some dogs become resistant to a certain type after time and need to change. Dosages can vary greatly among dogs, as can the timing of dosages. Typically, dogs will start off on insulin injections twice a day, around their feeding times. But be prepared for the experimentation necessary to find the ideal protocol for an individual dog.  Veterinary staff will explain how to handle and store insulin, and how to correctly use the syringes. Different strengths and types of insulin come in different units, and you need to carefully match the syringes you use with the insulin type. Insulin is sensitive and must be stored carefully, not too cold or too hot. Even shaking it too vigorously can harm this medication. Some insulins need to be rolled rather than shaken. Never use insulin past its expiration date.  Finally, you will learn how to give the injections. Some clinics have you practice on something like fruit until you are comfortable with doing the injections properly. Injections are given subcutaneously, reaching the fat between the surface skin and muscle below. The needles are a small diameter and very sharp, so most dogs handle the injections well. Needles and syringes need to be disposed of properly. You will need a sharps container and to learn how to dispose of the needles in your town.  Types of insulin There are many versions of insulin available for treating diabetic dogs, and your veterinarian will guide you to the best choice for your individual dog.  FDA-approved for use in dogs:  Porcine lente (Vetsulin)  Zinc insulin (ProZinc)  Used off-label with good results:  Detemir (Levemir)  Glargine (Lantus)  Isophane insulin, known as NPH (Novolin-N, Humulin-N)  All insulin drugs should only be used under the guidance of your veterinarian, with regular check-ups. Insulin costs will vary among products.  Insulin-glucose response curve Once you have the basics down, you will help fine-tune your dog's treatment. Trial and error is used to determine the best insulin, the ideal dose, timing and how to coordinate feedings with the dosing schedule. For the first week or two, while your dog's body adjusts to the insulin and you get your routine down, your veterinarian may have you monitor your dog via urine glucose strips. These give you a rough idea as to whether your dog is handling the insulin without getting their glucose levels too low. The ideal method for determining all these factors is to create a glucose response curve. Glucose is one of the main factors influenced by insulin. Tracking results of glucose in the blood is an easy way to know if your insulin dose is correct. Urine glucose monitoring can also help but is not as precise.  To create a glucose curve, blood glucose levels are checked about every two hours over a 12-hour period, if possible. That many blood tests can be expensive, but it is worth it to get your dog on the right track. Using the glucose curve, your veterinarian will see when the insulin starts to act, how long a single dose provides treatment, when the insulin is at its highest level of activity and when it fades out. While running the glucose curve, your dog's feeding (timing and portions) are carefully controlled. Based on the highs and lows of the curve, adjustments may be made in dose, timing of meals and amount fed.  Normal blood glucose levels in healthy dogs are 80-120 milligrams per decilitre (mg/dl). Most dogs can handle levels going as high as 250 with minimal side effects. Post mealtimes, some dogs may normally go up to 400 but that is a temporary effect. Once blood glucose levels go over 200, glucose will be detectable in the urine.  Factors influencing insulin dosing Because glucose is a basic nutrient, many factors can affect a dog's requirements. Obese dogs need to lose weight, so that should be factored in. If your dog has a successful weight-loss program, insulin amounts will decrease. Activity levels also require different amounts of insulin. A dog who is running agility trials will end up with a different dose than a dog who strolls sedately around the block once or twice a day. Female dogs who go into heat will often have different insulin needs than a spayed dog ( — it is generally recommended to spay an intact diabetic female to even out insulin requirements). If your dog is sick or becomes hypothyroid (low thyroid hormone production), their insulin needs will change. If your dog skips their morning meal and doesn't eat, you need to contact your veterinarian to discuss adjustments in the insulin dose. Insulin needs the “raw material” of the food to be effective.  Monitoring your diabetic dog  If your dog is not showing any clinical signs of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar or glucose levels), such as drinking more than usual, being extra hungry or urinating excessively, then your dosing should be in the right ballpark. Even so, periodic blood testing is recommended.  Having hypoglycemia (low blood sugar or glucose levels) is more serious. If your dog is very lethargic, sleeping more than usual and resisting activity, then they may have hypoglycemia. Some of these dogs will have tremors, difficulty walking and can collapse into a coma.  The brain is very dependent on glucose for its nutrition, so any changes in mental state could mean hypoglycemia. If you suspect this, you can put corn syrup or honey on your dog's gums. If they are alert, a meal of cooked pasta with some syrup or honey can help to quickly raise their blood sugar. The response should be fairly rapid. Contact your veterinarian if you suspect that your dog has high or low glucose levels. Fairly new on the scene are continuous or flash glucose-monitoring systems. These high-tech systems use an electrode inserted in the subcutaneous tissues of your dog. They give off a small current determined by the amount of glucose in the interstitial tissues. That charge is then converted to a glucose amount and displayed on a monitor.  Two systems have been used successfully in veterinary medicine: the MiniMed iPro2, a continuous monitoring system, and the Abbott Freestyle Libre, which is a flash system. These systems can provide a picture of your dog's daily blood glucose levels while they are at home and doing normal activities.  Best management practices The goal with your diabetic dog is to mimic a healthy dog's glucose status. You want a normal rhythm with no clinical signs of too high or too low. That means a steady routine, ideally feeding your dog the same diet, at the same time every day. Plan your dog's activity for each day. If you have an unusually active day planned, ask your veterinarian ahead of time about any recommended adjustments in insulin or food. A steady state minimizes long-term damage from diabetes to organ systems like the heart, liver and kidneys. Even dogs who are well-managed may eventually develop cataracts, but it takes longer in dogs who have relatively well-controlled glucose levels.  Once your dog is on a set schedule, costs and complications are minimal.  Side effect cataracts Cataracts are a common side effect of canine diabetes. These cataracts tend to mature quickly and may be associated with inflammation. A veterinary ophthalmologist can evaluate your dog's eyes to determine if cataract removal would improve vision.  If the ophthalmologist recommends removal, a well-regulated diabetic dog can have general anesthesia and surgery to remove the damaged lens. An artificial lens may be put in place at that time. If your dog is not a surgical candidate, don't despair. Blind dogs usually adjust well to their loss of vision.  Prognosis With careful monitoring, many dogs with diabetes live full, active lives. It is important for owners of diabetic dogs to keep a notebook charting daily dosage, diet, and activity. Doing so can alert you to any developing problems.  This article has been reprinted with permission from the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine's DogWatch newsletter, published by Belvoir Media Group.

There are a number of health challenges that are prevalent in pig production – and we know that biosecurity is the name of the game when it comes to disease prevention. Some diseases seem to evade even the strongest biosecurity plans and this can be frustrating for producers and their veterinarians as they try to achieve optimum care for their herds. Porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome is a disease that has circulated in the swine world for years – however a recent highly pathogenic strain of this virus is challenging pig herds. Dr. Doug MacDougald, a swine veterinarian working out of Southwest Ontario Veterinary Services has worked with producers in North America who have experienced outbreaks of this highly pathogenic PRRS strain – 144 Lineage 1C – and shares some case studies and practical tips for disease prevention.

M., Moatti, A., Kadur Lakshminarasimha Murthy, P., Gleason, K., Edwards, L., Greenbaum, A., Tata, A., Tata, P. R., Piedrahita, J. A. Abstract: Stem cells play a pivotal role in lung homeostasis, repair, and regeneration, and yet the mechanisms underlying these processes are unknown. Furthermore, species-specific differences make certain findings from mice, a widely used animal model, difficult to translate into humans. In this work, we address these limitations by using a transgenic pig model and identify two populations of LGR5+ cells in the lung. Interestingly, we found similar populations in human lungs but not in mice. Using RNA sequencing, 3D imaging, organoid models, and differentiation assays, we determine that in the fetal lung, epithelial LGR5 expression is transient in a subpopulation of developing lung bud tips, co-expresses bud tip markers SOX9 and SFTPC. While epithelial LGR5 expression is absent from postnatal lung, it is reactivated in bronchioalveolar organoids derived from basal airway cells. A separate population of LGR5+ cells is mesenchymal, surrounds developing and mature airways, lies adjacent to airway basal cells, is closely associated with nerve fibers, and acts as a multipotent progenitor cell capable of supporting the airway basal cell niche. Transcriptionally, mesenchymal LGR5+ cells are analogous to stromal stem cell populations and express unique patterns of WNT and TGFbeta signaling pathway genes. These results point to two roles for LGR5 in orchestrating stem and progenitor cell dynamics and provide a physiologically relevant model for further studies on the role of these populations in repair and regeneration.

R., Maus, K., Pfeifer, A., Aikawa, E., Bakhtiary, F., Zimmer, S., Nickenig, G., Jansen, F., Hosen, M. R. Abstract: Background: Calcific aortic valve stenosis is defined by pathological changes in the aortic valve and their predominant cell types: valvular interstitial (VICs) and endothelial cells (VECs). Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of this disease is a prerequisite to identify potential pharmacological treatment strategies. In this study, we present a unique aortic valve cell isolation technique to acquire specific human and porcine cell populations and compared VICs and VECs of these species with each other for the first time. Methods and Results: Aortic valve cells were isolated from human explants from patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement or porcine valvular tissue. Pure VEC and VIC populations could be verified by gene expression analysis and immunofluorescence staining showing a highly significant upregulation of endothelial markers in VECs and mesenchymal markers in VICs, respectively. Further analysis and comparison of cells in in vitro experiments revealed that endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition could be induced in hVECs, leading to significant increase of mesenchymal markers. In vitro calcification experiments of VICs induced by osteogenic medium or pro-calcifying medium demonstrated a pronounced calcification marker expression and visible calcific deposition in Alizarin red staining in both species. Conclusion: This study aims to initiate a first step towards standardization of a reproducible isolation technique for pure human and porcine VEC and VIC populations. A comparison of human and porcine aortic valve cells demonstrated that porcine cells might serve as an alternative cellular model system, in settings, where human tissues are difficult to obtain.

J., Hadway, J., Morrison, L., Desjardins, L., Tyler, S., Flamminio, M., Keenliside, L., Lee, T.-Y. Abstract: Despite the advances in ischemic stroke treatment, not all patients are eligible for or fully recovered after recanalization therapies. Therapeutic hypothermia could be adjuvant therapy that optimizes the beneficial effect of reperfusion. While conventional whole-body cooling has severe adverse effects, selective brain cooling has emerged as an attractive alternative. However, clinical application is limited by the lack of optimal delivery methods and unknown treatment parameters. Optimal parameters may depend on injury levels and monitoring cerebral perfusion may provide valuable information. Here, we show that selective brain cooling via our in-house developed Vortex tube IntraNasal Cooling Instrument (VINCI), even with a clinically relevant delay in treatment, can attenuate subacute injuries in animals with severe ischemic stroke. The treatment responses of selective brain cooling were characterized by CT Perfusion (CTP). The predicted lesion volume by CTP matched the true infarct volume by histology when the brain temperature was decreased by 5 oC from normothermia. More importantly, we found that global hyperemia (high cerebral blood flow) before rewarming could be an early manifestation of poor treatment outcomes. Altogether, our study shows that VINCI-enabled brain cooling could be guided by CTP imaging as adjuvant therapy for severe ischemic stroke. This work lays the groundwork toward individualized selective brain cooling. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info Podcast created by Paper Player, LLC

Abstract: Adrenomedullin (ADM) as a highly conserved peptide hormone has been reported to increase significantly in the uterine lumen during the peri-implantation period of pregnancy in pigs, but its functional roles in growth and development of porcine conceptus (embryonic/fetus and its extra-embryonic membranes) as well as underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Therefore, we conducted in vitro experiments using our established porcine trophectoderm cell line (pTr1) isolated from Day-12 porcine conceptuses to test the hypothesis that porcine ADM stimulates cell proliferation, migration and adhesion via AKT-TSC2-MTOR cell signaling pathway in pTr1 cells. Porcine ADM at 10-7 M stimulated (P less than 0.05) pTr1 cell proliferation, migration and adhesion by 1.4-, 1.5- and 1.2-folds, respectively. These ADM-induced effects were abrogated (P less than 0.05) by siRNA-mediated knockdown of ADM (siADM) and its shared receptor component calcitonin-receptor-like receptor (CALCRL; siCALCRL), as well as by rapamycin, the inhibitor of mechanistic target of rapamycin (MTOR). Using siRNA mediated knockdown of CALCRL coupled with Western blot analyses, ADM signaling transduction was determined in which ADM binds to CALCRL to increase phosphorylation of MTOR, its downstream effectors (4EBP1, P70S6K, and S6), and upstream regulators (AKT and TSC2). Collectively, these results suggest that porcine ADM in histotroph act on its receptor component CALCRL to activate AKT-TSC2-MTOR, particularly MTORC1 signaling cascade, leading to elongation,migration and attachment of conceptuses.

Did they put the PZP in the V shots? This is the theory that people are putting forth in the media. PZP is used to sterilize wild horses and other animals, and now perhaps humans. Its schedule resembles the mandates for the shots. Coincidence? Wild horses don't need to be sterilized, nor do any other species on the planet. God gave us all life as gift, not to play god.

S., Brudvig, J., Weimer, J. M. Abstract: Mouse models of CLN3 Batten disease, a rare lysosomal storage disorder with no cure, have improved our understanding of CLN3 biology and therapeutics through their ease of use and a consistent display of cellular pathology. However, the translatability of murine models is limited by disparities in anatomy, body size, life span, and inconsistent, subtle behavior deficits that can be difficult to detect in CLN3 mutant mouse models, limiting their utility in preclinical studies. Here we present a longitudinal characterization of a novel miniswine model of CLN3 disease that recapitulates the most common human pathogenic variant, an exon 7-8 deletion (CLN3{Delta}ex7/8). Progressive pathology and neuron loss is observed in various regions of the CLN3{Delta}ex7/8 miniswine brain and retina. Additionally, mutant miniswine present with vision impairment and motor abnormalities, similar to deficits seen in human patients. Taken together, the CLN3{Delta}ex7/8 miniswine model shows consistent and progressive Batten disease pathology and behavioral impairment mirroring clinical presentation, demonstrating its value in studying the role of CLN3 and safety/efficacy of novel disease modifying therapeutics.

About the post: A More-than-Human One Health approach encourages cooperation among humans and nonhumans in facilitating interspecies solidarity. Perhaps, we can start by imagining post-extractivist imaginaries beyond using a negative conceptual registry of post-apocalyptic worlds. Academic spaces have the intellectual and creative capacity to trace the life and death cycles of nonhuman animals beyond extractive narratives. As our worlds become more susceptible to pandemics, the porous demarcation between domesticated/wild and human/nonhuman reveals the fragility of life under capitalism.

Le Québec a une population d'un peu plus de 8,5 millions de personnes, et 7 millions de porcs sont élevés et abattus chaque année. La production porcine est en hausse avec une augmentation de la demande, une tendance observée depuis quelques années. Catherine Mercier nous explique comment évolue l'industrie porcine.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) has challenged producers and swine veterinarians for decades. During that time, outbreak management and strategies have evolved along with the virus. “If you ask 20 different people how they are managing PRRS breaks, you may get 20 different answers,” Daniel Linhares, DVM, Iowa State University, told Pig Health Today. “People are still trying different things to succeed in their PRRS management program.”

Les producteurs porcins en France sont soulagés : ils peuvent continuer à exporter du porc vers la Chine même en cas de peste porcine africaine détectée sur le territoire français. Un accord dit « de zonage » vient d'être signé entre les deux pays. Grâce à cet accord, si la maladie survient dans une zone de l'Hexagone, ce n'est pas toute la filière qui sera pénalisée. Les producteurs des zones non touchées peuvent continuer à exporter des produits porcins vers la Chine, premier consommateur et importateur de cette viande au monde. Le marché chinois est en effet très important pour la France. En 2020, il a représenté près d'un tiers des exportations françaises. Cet accord est le premier de ce genre à être signé entre l'empire du Milieu et un pays de l'Union européenne. Une filière qui subit la hausse du prix des céréales L'Allemagne, deuxième producteur de porcs en Europe, subit toujours de plein fouet les conséquences de l'apparition à l'est du pays de l'épizootie l'an dernier. Depuis, la Chine a interdit toutes les importations de produits porcins provenant d'Allemagne, ce qui a provoqué des excédents de cochons sur le marché allemand et contribué à la chute des cours du porc en Europe. Une double peine pour les éleveurs européens, qui souffrent également de la hausse des coûts de l'alimentation en raison de la flambée du prix des céréales. 75% de leurs charges sont alimentaires, rappelle la Fédération nationale porcine en France, qui anticipe des pertes pour les éleveurs français dans les mois à venir. L'accord signé entre la France et la Chine remonte un peu le moral des acteurs de la filière. Même s'il n'y a actuellement aucun cas de peste porcine en France, la menace se rapproche des frontières de l'Hexagone ces dernières années. Les Caraïbes sont également concernées suite à la détection durant l'été 2021 de nombreux foyers en République dominicaine et en Haïti, plaçant les Antilles françaises en vigilance accrue.
