Transgenic animals have been a great improvement for science and health. The lastest technological
developments have lead to the generation of a broad variety of transgenic pigs with diverse aims and
applications. In this manuscript, we describe and analyze the usage and applications of the transgenic
pigs in biomedicine and agriculture. The applications of transgenic pigs in biomedicine included
models for human diseases, production of bio-pharmacological substances and xenotransplantation.
The agriculture applications of transgenic pigs are disease resistance, increases in the production and
quality of animal products and pollution reduction. The use of transgenic pigs is higher in biomedicine
than in agriculture. This is due to the severe restriction of consumption of food products derived
from genetic modified organisms (GMO’s).
