Xenotransplantation is an exciting, yet controversial, subject. In many ways it presents a challenge to Norwegian swine producers. Norwegian swine production wants to market itself to the Norwegian consumer as providing high quality, safe food items. We are putting a lot of effort into securing our high standard of animal health and welfare, including a low prevalence of zoonoses and "clean" food, i.e. meat free of medicinal residues from antibiotics and hormones. Currently, we have a very high standard of animal health in Norway as shown by official free status (OIE) of all serious contagious animal diseases and a very low prevalence of the less serious contagious diseases. As a result of this we have a very restricted use of antibiotics and other animal medicines. Regarding animal welfare, we have introduced the practice of free roaming sows in grouphousing systems as the major production system, as opposed to individually pen restricted pigs. Furthermore, we have, as the only country in the world so far, prohibited castration of boars, a legislation, which will be effectuated from the year 2009. Until then, only veterinarians may castrate boars, and local anaesthesia is mandatory. This introduction is to illustrate that the Norwegian swine producers wish to convey that they are concerned about public opinion regarding the quality of pork meat, and that they wish to produce meat that is safe to consume, and is produced from pigs that enjoy a high standard of welfare during their lifetime. From this angle I venture to discuss the issue of xenotransplantation.
