Introduction: the National University of Singapore estimates that a comprehensive pig vaccine can be developed by the end of this year to eliminate the impact of some diseases on pig growth and make pig growth faster Professor Kuang Huixing, director of the Animal Health Biotechnology Research Office of new macromolecule Agricultural Biology College, said the new vaccine will comprehensively prevent and treat four different pig diseases He pointed out that once the new vaccine is successfully developed, the time from birth to growth to the market standard size of pigs will be shortened from the previous half year to five or five and a half months, which will improve the pig production in pig farms In the past, pigs were vaccinated four times In the future, pigs could be immunized against four common diseases with only one shot When researchers develop vaccines, they first separate special viruses and bacteria, list their DNA, confirm the pathogenic genes or methods, and then use modern molecular biotechnology to transform them into vaccines If all goes well, Singapore's local supply of live pigs is expected to increase by 5% next year, and local pork prices will be cheaper, he said The school of molecular agriculture and biology will conduct a clinical trial in October this year, and it is expected to start producing 250000 pig vaccines for pig farms next year.
