Since Iowa is the nation's No. 1 state in pork production, these advances will add to the competitive advantage of our producers. But ultimately, the consumer will be the beneficiary. |
Sooner or later we can probably easily say we were all related at one time. |
The developing world wants to eat meat. And there's only one way to produce it--grow more animals. |
The pig is an outstanding model to study human diseases. Understanding the pig genome should provide enormous opportunities for treating human disorders like obesity, diabetes and heart disease. It also could improve the breeding of pigs to produce human-transplant organs. |
The sequencing of the pig genome is a scientific advance that will offer great benefits for consumers and human health. |
The support we've received from producers and their organizations has been crucial to obtaining this research support from USDA. |
The ultimate beneficiary of the pig genome project is really not the pork producer, it's the consumer. |
The ultimate beneficiary of the pig genome project is really not the pork producer, it's the consumer. It's going to be better food at a reasonable price, and it's going to be, eventually, better health issues related to this animal called the pig. |
