Gene-Edited Pigs Developed to Combat Devastating Swine Fever Outbreaks
Researchers have successfully engineered pigs with complete resistance to classical swine fever through precise gene editing. The breakthrough could transform disease management in the global pork industry, according to scientific reports.
Breakthrough in Livestock Disease Resistance
Scientists have developed genetically engineered pigs that demonstrate complete resistance to classical swine fever, according to research published this week. The breakthrough from the University of Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute represents a potential game-changer for combating a disease that threatens hundreds of millions of pigs worldwide, sources indicate.
