The method of obtaining and rearing germfree miniature piglets for medical-biological research is described. The gnotobiotes were reared in rigid organic glass isolation cells up to 3 months. Milk diets supplemented with minerals and vitamins were used for nutrition. The gnotobiotes gained weight well during the whole observation period.
