If you could guarantee that every pig that comes
across your table will be of consistent size and weight-for-age, always clean
and healthy and always of the same strain - would it contribute
toward better and more consistent data?
Would it help to know that
every one of your swine models is not just healthy now, but has always been healthy?
Would you like to know that you will never again spend your valuable time collecting and
analyzing data, only to find on necropsy, surprises that force you to discard that data?
Such problems are frequently
encountered when trying to use swine from a commercial herd. But, because
specialized mini-pigs are often cost prohibitive, many investigators believe that they
have no recourse.
We at K BAR LIVESTOCK
know what it takes to produce clean, accurate and reproducible data. Our domestic
swine are from a total confinement herd from a very exclusive
swine breeding station where the sows farrow in crates and pigs spend their first twenty
weeks on raised wire floors inside climate controlled buildings. Their water is made
available exclusively via nipple spigots. Human contact is strictly limited and
disinfectant measures are rigidly enforced. All pigs routinely receive Iron
Dextran to prevent anemia, vaccines against the most common swine diseases and
rotational worming to ensure they are parasite free.
We have all the most common purebreds as
well as high quality crossbreeds available. They are usually docile and friendly
from frequent positive human contact.
Our most frequently ordered size range is
10 to 90 kg. but we can deliver any age or size you might require, from neonate to adult.
We will be happy to provide timed pregnant sows, bred to suit your individual
needs.
Litter mates or non-related groups are
available, as well as early weaned piglets when necessary. K Bar
pigs will always be within 3 days of the same age at any given weight.
With pigs from K Bar Livestock,
you can have all of the consistency and quality of the expensive specialty mini-pigs at a
fraction of the cost.
