Abstract
1. The whole of the lower half of the small intestine, with the exception of the last few cm of the ileum, has been removed from sixteen suckling pigs, 3–4 kg in weight.2. The operation is technically easy, but the exposure and handling of the intestines may produce crippling adhesions.3. The postoperative management presents no serious nutritional difficulties.4. If the operation is successful the animals become functionally normal, if slightly small, adults.Keywords
