There is a growing interest for minimally invasive surgical procedures to improve experimental animal welfare and reduce biases induced by surgery through drug administration or animal behaviour changes. The aim of the study was to develop a simple and reproducible procedure for external jugular vein catheterization in piglets lighter than 10 kg body weight (BW) using ultrasound guidance.
