The optimal age, size, and gender of minipigs for your research depend on many factors, which only you know in detail. Over the years Ellegaard Göttingen Minipigs A/S has been in dialogue with many customers helping them to identify the optimal criteria for their minipigs. This has given us broad knowledge about selection criteria, and we would like to share some of the considerations we often encounter with you.

Group size

For regulatory toxicology studies the group sizes used depend on the study design, but as a general rule, the group sizes used in minipig studies are the same that are used in dog studies.

We hope the above information is useful and should you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
