Frankenswine
China loves their pork, but the rising urban population is pushing a bit for leaner, healthier meat.
Their food scientists have bred a "leaner" pig to meet the needs of those wishing to avoid fat.
Behold the Frankenswine. The obvious question being, how would you prepare one of these on your offset smoker?

I wouldn't doubt the use of steroids here but you'd be surprised what a few generations of selective breeding would produce.
My brother has a boar now that is on the 6th line. He looks REALLY good. Nothing like the pig here but, very pronounced musculature and good fat to muscle (from the external view).
He says he's not ready for the real work yet. He will be putting that line to the working pens in a few more generations.

Re: Frankenswine
Agree. Breeding on the animals with characherista you want to enhance obviously creates change. That has been done for years and are a natural selection.Txdragon wrote:Joernolav wrote:That poor animal. Would absolutely not eat it. Guaranteed full of steroids.

Personally I wouldn't eat food from China. Too many food scandals there. I avoid as much as possible to eat meat from animals full of steroids or antibiotics. Luckily steroids is forbidden here and very little use of antibiotics.

Might be. But there are many cruel animals breeds. This is called Belgian blue. A common cow breed in Belgium. Can hardly walk. Animal cruelty by the breeders imo.Professor Bunky wrote:I'm also wondering if this picture has been "photoshopped"?

Re: Frankenswine
I'm with Txdragon. Selective breeding can produce crazy results. This is really true in hogs. Reaching sexual maturity at 6 months and with a gestation period of about the same duration a single sow can throw 3-4 litters a year. Finding a line of females that nick well with a line of boars is only a couple generations away. Just consider the hog industry is nothing like it was 40 years ago. American hog, beef and chicken ranchers have been using selective breeding practices for decades. By such they have breed slaughter animals that are taller, longer, more muscular and certainly less fat laden. Frankenswine is just an extreme example of what these breeding practices can produce.

The double muscling appears to be a natural gene mutation. Exploited by breeders further? Maybe but the breed is already prone to it.

Well is sure is an ugly looking rascal. I like cattle that look like this. We had rolled out a round bail there were they are grazing the day before.
