Description
Orsolya Csötönyi and co-authors test whether a skin surface method can pick up changes in gut movement in pigs when the animals are under mild stress. Long or strong stress is known to harm how well farm animals digest food, in part through the stress hormone cortisol.
Four growing pigs were studied on a calm day and on a day when a hormone dose raised their cortisol in a mild stress response. Wires on the skin tracked the electric signals of the gut muscles without any surgery. Blood tests over time confirmed the stress worked. The study asks whether the skin method is sharp enough to spot the change.
