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
