Lab - cultured meat
1. The future of meat
In-vitro meat
Cultured meat is meat produced by in vitro cell culture of animal cells,
instead of from slaughtered animals. It is a form of cellular agriculture.
Cultured meat is produced using many of the same tissue engineering
techniques traditionally used in regenerative medicine.

2. From old to new 👉👉👉
As we all are moving towards the new emerging technologies
The scenario of meat is also changed
In vitro meat is the cultured meat is also called as hydroponic meat , test-tube
meat, vat-grawn meat, vitimless meat, this is the Idea of producing meat
through the tissue culture technique.
The main purpose of this progressive technology is to produce meat without
using the actual animal.
3. From where we get this Idea?
Why would we need cultured MEAT?
1. DEMANDS OF OVER POPULATION IN 2050
2. ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
3. LIMITED LIVESTOCK
4. RELIGIOUS AND CULTURED MEAT
4. How’s the CULTURED MEAT grow?
The process of making cultured meat (also
known as clean meat) is similar to making
livestock meat, except the cells grow outside
the animal's body.
The first step is to take some cells from the
muscle of an animal, such as a cow if we're
making beef, which is done with a small biopsy
under anaesthesia.
The cells that are taken are called “myosatellite” cells,
which are the stem cells of muscles.
The cells are placed in a medium containing nutrients
and naturally-occurring growth factors, and allowed to
proliferate just as they would inside an animal.
They proliferate until we get trillions of cells from a
small sample. From one sample from a cow, we can
produce 800 million strands of muscle tissue
5. The simple diagram of the process of
CULTURED MEAT
1. Takea small biopsy
2. Extract microsatellite
cells
3. Add animal free growth
serum to multiply cells
4. 4. Grow cells on
scaffold to form
microfibrils which bind
together to form
muscle
5. exercise muscle to
boost protein
6. Grind up thousands of
muscles trips
7. Add flavours, iron and
vitamins
8. cook and eat
7. Cons:
1.Very expensive to produce current technology
2.Requires enormous investment in development
and research technology
3.Unnatural
4.limited to ground meat
5. Subject to media criticism
6.Possible unknown health sequences
8. Pros:
1. Potentially cheaper to produce regular
meat
2.Requires less food input
3.Requires less real-estate
4.HealthierCleaner
5.Requires less water
6.Produce less waste
7.More ethical than animal welfare
8.Prevents climate change or global
warming
9.Better for public health
