Muscle target
SCIENTISTS in the US have discovered a method of promoting double muscling which could be developed for pig production.
The technique, known as gene targeting, has been used in mice.
Treated mice grew 50% faster and had muscle weights two to tree times heavier than untreated mice.
Cotswold Pig Development company is keen to investigate its use with pigs. *
