The sows or piglets must meet stringent health requirements including originating from a single site free of various diseases. Pre-purchase screening of blood samples is required. Deliveries of sows would be scheduled for December 2023, with piglets' first delivery the last week of December 2023. Transportation must be direct to the research facility within 6 hours.
