Application possibilities
Landrace pigs are used in animal research, typically in studies with relatively short durations. This approach is designed to ensure that the rapidly growing animals do not reach excessive sizes.
Landrace pigs are a valuable resource for medical research due to their genetic similarities to humans. Their use in medical research spans a wide range of applications, from organ transplantation and cardiovascular disease research to diabetes and neurological studies and others. Their versatility in various fields of medicine makes them crucial for advancing both veterinary and human healthcare.
