Thread: Otago University needs Feral Pig DNA Samples

[QUOTE=Graeme Sturgeon;336310]Just a thought I had. I have pork from at least two different Coromandel pigs in my freezer.

I am a bit disturbed about how these rumours got started about a 'Coromandel Strain Of TB among Wild Pigs'
can you cast some more light on this
Chinese wispers! after your post on tb free coromandel I asked a hunter who collected pigs heads for Agriquality several years ago, as far as he can recall it was not "coromandel TB" but pigs from the coromandel identified by DNA when they were looking for TB. Obviously my mistake oops

Thanks for clearing that up Marty. It gave me a shock, as we are proud of our TB free status in the Coromandel. If pigs are going to be liberated the ones from here are best.
