Pigs have become a popular animal model in medical research due to their anatomical and physiological similarities to humans. They have been used to study a range of human diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and digestive disorders. Pigs are also used to test new surgical techniques and medical devices before clinical trials in humans.
