Hanford Miniature Swine Aid Biomedical Research
Battelle Northwest Laboratories has used Hanford miniature swine since the 1950s for biomedical studies from artificial hearts to cancer research. The pigs, bred from Pitman Moore and Palouse lines, weigh 160 to 180 pounds and closely resemble humans in key physiological traits. Researchers foresee even smaller 50 to 60 pound super-miniature pigs with funding, potentially replacing other animals in long term studies.
