Create chicken in the laboratory

After two years of successful beef production in the laboratory, scientists are turning to chicken research.

Create artificial chicken in the laboratory

Biologist Amit Gefen of Tel Aviv University, Israel, has a year of research in chicken production in the laboratory, with funding from the nonprofit group Modern Agriculture Foundation. They hope "cultured meat " will replace livestock farming activities in the future.

Science World Report said, instead of concentrating small beef fibers to form a large piece of beef as before, Gefen hopes to create a complete piece of chicken from a single cell.

According to Reuters, the demand for meat is expected to double from 2000 to 2050. Meat in the lab sounds unattractive, but this is a very large source, and does not cause lipological consequences. School like traditional breeding . With this new method, the amount of greenhouse gases emitted is less than 96%, water consumption is 82-96% less, and eliminates the requirement for soil.

Experts say the creation of beef and chicken in the laboratory, making them more palatable and affordable, remains a challenge. However, this is a big step in the right direction in the near future.
