German term or phrase: Stücke aus der Laxe des Schweins
I know it means pork "something" pieces, but Laxe is strange to me. The text goes as follows:
Als Testober¬flächen dienten quer geschnittene sterilisierte Stücke aus der Laxe des Schweins; zur Kontaminierung wurden die Testkeime gewählt.
Vielen Dank!
