/ənˈvaɪroʊˌpɪɡ/,

/ɛnˈvaɪroʊˌpɪɡ/

Forms: Also with lower-case initial.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: enviro- comb. form, pig n.¹

Etymology: < enviro- comb. form + pig n.¹

A genetically modified variety of pig that is able to digest phytic acid, producing manure with a reduced phosphorus content and hence less environmental impact.The pigs express introduced genes for a bacterial phytase and for a mouse promoter gene enabling its secretion in the saliva.A proprietary name in Canada.

2001 Maclean's 13 Aug. 14/2 Scientists at the Ontario university combined an e.coli gene with a mouse gene to create 100 ‘Enviropigs’.
