title: [Functional morphology of the maxillo-mandibular apparatus in the miniature swine MINI-LEWE. 11. Discussion of the findings of the metric studies and dentition (conclusion)].
abstract: The graphs showing the dimensions and angles of the skull and jaw indicate that postnatal development trends are basically uniform. Comparison with the Vietnamese miniature pig shows that the miniature pig MINI-LEWE has a longer skull. Postnatal skull growth is accompanied by a distinct shift in proportions. The sequence of dentition if broadly identical to that of the domestic pig and the Pitmann-Moore miniature pig.
