Super Hog concept eyed by Oklahoma researchers
Oklahoma State University meat scientist Lowell Walters explains that selective breeding could yield “super hogs” with superior lean mass able to reach 270 to 300 pounds while maintaining a good lean to fat ratio. Benefits include fewer sows needed, lower vet bills, and reduced space, but questions remain about processor acceptance, consumer cuts, feed efficiency, and farm facility changes. Walters notes research is planned to address these uncertainties.
