Göttingen Minipigs are widely used in biomedical research, including drug development and regulatory studies, and excel in their unique health status, well-documented genetic background, similarity to humans, and availability in large, uniform groups. The stable genetic background is ensured through careful genetic selection and breeding. Göttingen Minipigs are bred in independent, full-barrier, SPF facilities to ensure high microbiological quality, and their well-defined health status is ensured through isolated barrier-breeding and documented in the publically available Health Monitoring Reports. The colonies are health monitored every six months and tested for a wide range of pathogens based on FELASA recommendations.

Göttingen Minipigs are recognized as an established animal model by all regulatory authorities worldwide.
