Body weight of pancreas duct ligated minipigs post-OP in long-term husbandry. Values are mean ± standard deviation. Yellow area marks change of maintenance fodder. Conducted PERT Studies are shown on a timeline below. PERT Studies with high fat-high fiber (HF-HF) diet are light blue, PERT Studies with high fat-high fiber (HF-LF) diet are dark blue, Maintenance phases without PERT are dashed. Animals have not been ligated on the same date. First PERT study was conducted for all animals exactly at 6–18 weeks post OP respectively. Further studies were conducted with animal groups with mixes ligation dates. Shown are average values of weeks post OP
