Researchers have created a new generation of Frankenswine -- genetically modified hogs designed to be cheaper and greener, the Daily Mail reports.

Such pigs' manure contains less phosphorus than normal slurry and poses less risk to natural waters. They also look, sound and taste like normal pigs.

Frankenswine will be the first GM animal to be allowed into the food chain and could one day provide meat products for the world. (点击《每日邮报》查看原文)

“科学怪猪”污染小

       据英国《每日邮报》消息,研究人员近日研制出一种新型转基因“科学怪猪”,这种猪将会更加廉价、清洁。

       与一般的猪相比,“科学怪猪”排出的粪便磷含量较少。不过这些猪的外观、叫声甚至是味道和普通猪没有区别。

       “科学怪猪”将会成为第一种被允许进入食物链的转基因动物,也会有朝一日成为我们肉制品的源泉。
