First Litter of Piglets Born to a Transgenic Pig


A revolutionary new cloning method spawned the first transgenic cloned pigs  in August 2007. It was developed at the Foulum Research Centre at the University of Aarhus and the scientists didn't know if the technique would disturb the natural physiology of the animals. It turned out to be a huge success, and one of the cloned pigs has now given birth to the first litter of piglets born to a transgenic clone, a first both the nationally and the world.
