Super-Muskel-Schweine Explanation: Chinesische und südkoreanische Forscher haben Supermuskelschweine kreiert, Schweine die sehr schnell sehr viel Muskelfleisch ansetzen, um eine «höhere Ausbeute an Fleisch pro Tier» und mehr «mageres Fleisch» zu erhalten. https://www.kleinbauern.ch/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/sag_ma... Geforscht wird beispielsweise bereits am Super-Muskel-Schwein, an Rindern ohne Hörnern oder an der Ausrottung der Tigermücken https://www.konsumentenschutz.ch/sks/content/uploads/2017/10... New methods of genetic engineering, such as the gene scissors CRISPR/Cas, are being used to produce animals with enhanced muscle growth. These are so-called “super-muscly pigs”. Various experiments have been carried out with pigs, cattle, sheep and goats to “knock-out” the myostatin (MSTN) gene which controls muscle growth. If MSTN is disrupted, there is an abnormal proliferation of muscle cells. These experiments have been successful in some animals; and in some cases patents have been filed on the resulting pigs and cattle. https://www.testbiotech.org/en/limits-to-biotech/pigs/basic_... |
