Abstract

At present, the assessment of pig welfare quality has gained significant importance, prompting the exploration of novel biomarkers for this purpose. Traditionally, these biomarkers have been monitored in the blood; however, blood sampling is considered an invasive procedure. Currently, non-invasive methods for collecting samples are emerging as viable alternatives for assessing these biomarkers. This article aims to present the current knowledge regarding the use of non-invasive methods for analysing pig welfare biomarkers, specifically focusing on the saliva, hair, faeces, and urine as matrices to determine these biomarkers. The saliva analysis encompasses various biomarkers, such as cortisol, alpha-amylase, chromogranin A, the total esterase, oxytocin, acute phase proteins, adenosine deaminase, immunoglobulins and parameters of redox homeostasis. Cortisol, a specific biomarker, can be determined in the hair, urine and faeces, while urine samples allow for the analysis of catecholamines as non-invasive markers of pig welfare.

分析猪福利生物标志物的非侵入性方法。

目前，对猪福利质量的评估已变得越来越重要，这促使人们为此探索新的生物标志物。传统上，这些生物标志物通过血液进行监测；然而，血液采样被认为是一种侵入性程序。目前，采集样本的非侵入性方法正在成为评估这些生物标志物的可行替代方法。本文旨在介绍目前使用非侵入性方法分析猪福利生物标志物的相关知识，特别侧重于将唾液、毛发、粪便和尿液作为确定这些生物标志物的基质。唾液分析包括各种生物标志物，如皮质醇、α-淀粉酶、嗜铬粒蛋白 A、总酯酶、催产素、急性期蛋白、腺苷脱氨酶、免疫球蛋白和氧化还原平衡参数。皮质醇是一种特殊的生物标志物，可在毛发、尿液和粪便中测定，而尿液样本则可分析儿茶酚胺，作为猪福利的非侵入性标志物。
