Abstract

So-called liver degeneration (LD) in pigs (the liver becomes dull yellow) was rather high in incidence among pigs slaughtered long after the last feeding. When pigs were fasted experimentally for 46 hours or over, LD developed among them at a high rate. It was suggested that LD was caused principally by long period of fast and thirst from last feeding in farm to slaughter time, followed much stressor.
