The following datelined Canada 4/4/12 ver batim: A Canadian project aimed at creating a genetically engineered pig whose manure would be less harmful to the environment is being halted after failing to find a company willing to bring the animal to market. The less polluting pig, called the "enviropig" has a gene that allows it to better digest phosphorous in its food, therefore reducing the amount of phosphorous in the manure. The genetically altered pig was created using genetic material from a mouse.??? But farmers can now give pigs a supplement in their food to achieve the same end. unquote. NYT 4/4/12.
So hog bellies may be down in Chicago but the manure is pure in Canada. (Slow news day)
