ENVIROPIG
  1. INTRODUCTION: Enviropig is the trademark for a genetically a modified line of Yorkshire pigs.It has genetically modified salivary glands, which help them digest phosphorus in feedstuffs and reduce phosphorus pollution in the environment
    1. TRANSGENIC METHODS:
      1. HOW IT WORKS?
        1. ADVANTAGES:
          1. Reduced production cost
            1. Environment Friendly
              1. Advanced technology
                1. Nutrient Management Friendly
                2. FACTS:
                  1. Enviropigs produce the enzyme phytase in their salivary glands
                    1. certain genes that could be unstable during reproduction or impractical in commercial use.
                    2. CRITICISM:
                      1. In the end, there are no more Enviropigs,so any approval to be used in the public is out the window
                        1. The research and public funds if, no one wants the technology
                        2. APPLICATIONS:
                          1. Alternative to livestock pigs
                            1. Reduced phosporous contamination in the environment
                              1. Used for human food
                              2. DISADVANTAGES:
                                1. Discharges phytase is an environment poluutant
                                  1. Their pork didnt enter the food chain
                                    1. Breeding problem occurs
                                      1. They are commercially unavailable
                                      2. COMPARISON
