Salivette swab
The Salivette swabs are designed for the collection of saliva samples. They provide a simple and standardized method for collecting and storing saliva specimens for various analyses.

Pig Saliva Sampling for Stress Biomarkers
The timing of saliva samples was performed according to the literature on alpha-amylase activity and cortisol concentration in pig saliva [33 (link)], also considering the kinetics of cortisol passive diffusion from blood to saliva (~ 15–30 min) described in other farm animals [60 (link), 61 (link)] (Table

Adrenal Function and Quality of Life
Adrenocortical reserve was assessed by low-dose ACTH testing (1 μg Synacthen, Sigma-Tau Industrie Riunite, Rome, Italy). Blood and saliva samples were collected prior to testing and 15, 30, 60, and 90 min after ACTH i.v. bolus. Saliva was collected into Salivette swabs (Sarstedt AG & Co., Nümbrecht, Germany). Peak serum cortisol levels below 500 nmol/l (18 μg/dl) were considered indicative of reduced adrenocortical reserve [11 (link)].
Quality of life (QoL) was established by Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36). The questionnaire has been validated by standard methodology of International Quality of Life Assessment [12 (link)].

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
