It has been reported that gastric ulceration occurs in pigs with no apparent relationship between incidence and breed. In a series of pigs, with orthotopic renal allografts, it has been bound that severe gastric ulceration with fatal haemorrhage is more common among Large White × Wessex pigs than Large White × Landrace/Wessex pigs. It is concluded that there is a significant breed difference in severity of gastric ulceration. Haemorrhage from such ulceration is a potential cause of death in animals receiving organ transplants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
