Highest grade small musk pigs bred by a university professor

Wangaide, a professional of Guangxi University, spent 17 years bringing up a group of bama musk pig of lineal reproduction, whose descendants became the highest grade animals in the experiment.
After 17 years of inbreeding selection, the small-scale of bama pigs have reached a high level of inbreeding, and individuals also have better hereditary agreement and hereditary stability. The same rate of small-scale of bama pigs' sixth generation inbreeding line is 77.2%. Professional Wang tells reporters that as usual, animals' pure rate in the inbreeding line of 20th generation will reach 99%, and that genes which are preserved are all excellent ones, and relatively steady, and also will not be involved in abnormal diseases; if nothing unexpected happens, he will bring a big group of small-scale of bama experimental pig whose genes are highly pure.
Compared with clone animals, inbreeding line animals have no risks and are healthier; what's more, they can be widely applied in every kind of medicine and biology experiments such as human organs transplant. In Denmark, each small pig which is closed has been sold at 300-500USD. If small pigs of inbreeding line can be sold to foreign counties, its price will be very high. Resource development and research application of Chinese experimental small-scale of pigs have been listed in the national "ten-five" technology attack plan major projects
