The FDA has approved the use of these gene-edited pigs for the U.S. market.
Interesting paper - the environmental footprint of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) -negative pigs on North American farms is 4–6% lower than industry average, and 9–17% lower than PRRSV-positive farms (Not sure why there is cat ⬇️🐷)
