BIOLOGY of the ‘Very Plastic’ 350 lb-Pig • Final Thoughts to Ponder • Biological ‘Plasticity’ of the Pig Enables Altering Skeletal Muscle Growth Efficiency and Body/Carcass Composition Without Compromising the Animals’ Biological Viability at Heavy Weights. • 2011 Results Clearly Indicate that PIC Full-Program Genetics is Already Economically Producing 350 lb. Commercial Pigs. • Commercialization of Producing 350 lb. Pigs Will Require Concerted Efforts of Geneticists, Nutritionists, Production Specialists, Animal Behaviorists, Meat Scientists and Food Engineers to Insure its Success.
