Current gene editing technologies provide an effective and biosafe strategy to enhance livestock disease resilience through precise manipulation of host antiviral genes. In this study, we successfully generated disease-resilient pigs exhibiting broad-spectrum antiviral activity against multiple viruses, with no observed adverse effects on pig health. The E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM29 functions as a negative regulator of type I interferon (IFN) signaling, thus representing a potential antiviral target. Knockdown of TRIM29 in PK15 cells significantly enhanced antiviral immunity against pseudorabies virus (PRV) and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) by augmenting type I IFN production. Translationally, we generated Trim29 knockout (KO) mice and confirmed their enhanced antiviral ability to both PRV and VSV infections. Subsequently, we produced TRIM29-KO pigs via gene editing coupled with somatic cell nuclear transfer. Compared to wild-type controls, the TRIM29-KO pigs exhibited significantly enhanced resilience to PRV infection, which was associated with elevated type I IFN levels\n                    <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Furthermore, alveolar macrophages derived from TRIM29-KO pigs showed reduced susceptibility to infection with PRV, VSV, and transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), highlighting their potential
