Miniature Pig
| Title: | Miniature Pig |
|---|---|
| Description: | An experimental miniature pig. The experimental animal is being held in place by rubber-tube covered arms in a laboratory setting. Some cans are visible on shelves behind the animal. The miniature pig has an unusually thick placenta that prevents sow's immune system from influencing that of offspring. Raised in a sterile environment, such piglets are vital in providing clues as to how the immune system develops. |
