Traditional laboratory pig training for sample collection often requires specialized restraint equipment and significant time investment.
Methods like Panepinto slings or lifting pigs are impractical for large animals or short-term studies.
Forced restraint and anesthesia can induce stress and physiological disruption in pigs.
