Abstract
Summary We present a new feeding schedule for the Gottingen minipig after extended gastric resection. Having a clever feeding regime and postoperative care minipigs may survive even in case of extended gastric resection and reconstruction. This enables important survival experiments to be done in regard to new operative techniques in Man. Postoperatively we started immediately to feed the minipigs with soft feed in the form of Hill's prescription diet canine/feline a/d. This feed composition consists of highly nutritious proteins and has little crue fibres. This was followed by the standard dry pellet feed KLIBA Minipig 3000. Follow-up over 16 weeks didn't reveal any feeding regime related complications.
