From an experiment using live piglets.
Die Tiere wurden vom Herkunftsbetrieb in den Versuchstall überstellt, *abgesetzt*, und während der nächsten 7 tage mit dem im versuch verwendeten Futter ohne Wirkstoff gefüttert.
Is this just "set down", or is their a specific meaning of absetzen in the handling of animals? Schönen Dank im voraus.
