Research applications using pigs.

The pig is an excellent research model for numerous human conditions and diseases. As a consequence, valuable information has been generated that has direct applications for human medicine. Research with an applied or agriculture-based emphasis also is essential to commercial pork production. Information must be exchanged between researchers using the pig as a biomedical model and investigators conducting applied research. The numerous research applications using the pig illustrate that the pig is a valuable resource for both biomedical and applied research.
