Fuji Micra Inc. has recently achieved success in a challenging and prospective project that produces the smallest pig in the world, the “Microminipig”, at a breeding farm at the foothills of Mt. Fuji in Japan. Microminipigs weigh approximately 7.0 kg at 6 months of age when they are mature. Microminipigs have been provided to several research organizations in Japan as a non-rodent experimental animal optimized for life science research.
