Blood Collection from the Orbital Sinus of Swine
September 30, 2015 —
Swine (Sus scrofa domesticus) are increasingly used as animal models in biomedical research. Often blood samples from these animals are needed for research protocols, but phlebotomy can be difficult, especially with young swine. This column describes a relatively simple technique for blood collection that can be used specifically with young swine.
