史密斯菲尔德生物科技公司副总裁考特尼•斯坦顿告诉《商业内幕》网站，说其公司希望使用那些通常只能白白浪费的猪器官 "First and foremost, we are a food company," she says.

“首先，我们是一家食品公司。”她说。

"Part of that responsibility is making sure we utilise the entire animal, and minimise waste. There are many parts of the animal which are not typically eaten. However, we have found valuable uses for these parts such as supplying them to the medical community."

“公司的责任包括确保我们利用动物的所有部分，尽可能减少浪费。动物的许多部分通常不会制成食品，但是我们已经发现这些部分也可以物尽其用，例如供应给医疗界。”

In April, Smithfield joined a public-private tissue-engineering consortium, which is funded by an US$80 million grant from the US Department of Defence. Smithfield has also launched a separate unit, Smithfield Bioscience, to oversee its medical ventures.

4月，史密斯菲尔德公司加入了一个公共私营组织工程学联合会，该联合会得到美国国防部8000万美元的资助。公司还成立了一个单独的子公司——史密斯菲尔德生物科学公司，来监督其医疗事业的发展。

Smithfield slaughters approximately 16 million pigs every year, and hopes to start selling pig parts directly to researchers and healthcare companies that conduct research on pig-human transplants.
