Figure 1.27 Collection of a blood sample from the
ear vein of a pig using a 22 gauge needle and a
syringe. For some samples, it may be preferable to
use a vacutainer (this is discussed further in Chapter

pig and ear veins have been raised using a rubber
band around the ear base. Illustration: Louis Wood.
