A Greener Pig for a Greener World

Pigs cannot digest phytate, so pig farmers put extra phosphorous in pig feed to break it down. The problem with this process it that nearly all of the phosphorous is pooped out and washed into the oceans creating a "dead zone"which is responsible for the deaths of many sea creatures. Cecil Forsburg saw this and spent 10 years genetically modefying Yorksire pigs so their saliva has phytase in it. The "EcoPig" is not leagally ready for tase testing due to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Health Canada, but it expected to taste "quite good."
