title: The effect of feeding on the motility of the stomach and small intestine in the pig.
abstract: 1. Electromyographical studies were made on the motility of the stomach and small intestine of five pigs when given a standard diet either ad lib. or as one or two meals/d. Recordings were made from electrodes placed chronically on the antrum, the duodenum and the jejuno-ileum, and a continuous 24 h recording was made every 2d for a period of 4 weeks. A simple "T"-shaped cannula was positioned in the proximal duodenum in two of the pigs.
