Muscle stem cells were taken from a cow's shoulder in a gentle biopsy and grown in calf serum with micro-exercise
so they wouldn't be flabby. 20000 cells were assembled then into a burger bound with bread crumbs
Or Growth Meatwe can't just keep ading more and more cattle pigs chickens ect. The amount of livestock we have now has a large environmental impact.
This could be a viable alternative to supplement our food supply cheers. yea sure say good bye to all those cows why raise em
and mennonites and zoos and peta freaks cows will go extinct well we might keep a herd for genetic improvement
With an exponentially growing population of 8. 3 billion there isn't enough feed in the world to keep that number of cattle pigs
One of them was claiming that a cow uses 28 calories of grass to make a calorie of beef
Those 28 calories of grass the cow uses to make a calorie of beef are mostly celuloise a long chain poly-sacaride that is indigestable to humans and most other mammals.
1) Not efficient-The current growth medium is made from butchered calves. That means the original grass or grain must be fed to a cow first
and then the unused food value that remains in the blood of the calf after slaughter is available for meat production plus some additionally highly processed nutrients. 2) Amoral
-While the cow had a gentle biopsy the calves didn't have it so nice
when their blood was extracted. This is a bit of a deal killer for vegans or those morally opposed to killing sentient animals for food.
Of course all those billions of people aren't mindless herds of cattle that just eat
and maintain and simply loosing one cow can put you back a thousand dollars. I'm trying to raise a family
#New Dinosaur Species Found In Utah Totally Looks like A Cowholy cow! Scientists have announced the discovery of a new species of dinosaur called Nasutoceratops titusi
and it's looking a little bovine. A University of Utah grad student discovered the first specimen in 2006 in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National monument in the high desert of southern Utah.
Aside from its cow horns Nasutoceratops is notable for its giant schnoz. Even among generally big-nosed ceratopsids Nasutoceratops stands out its name means big-nosed horned face.
Funny thing is they were probably smarter than cows. Yes...But what we really want to know is did it moo?
this is the ancestor of the cow. Raptors became birds...these guys cows...othey got the short end of the evolutionary stick-lolcarter.

I want a treat. bet you have heard never of a wild cow-thats cause they dont exist.
Cows are here FOR human comsumption..if there were such a thing as a wild cow then they would be extinct
because they have no way to survive naturally-horses are different-THERE ARE wild horses and they do some what ok with out human intervention...
but a cow-no they would all die off (and for you nautalist out there-a buffalo and a cow are two different things)--look at pigs-no such thing as a wild pig-they change into a wild boar-they look
and taste completly different--somethings in nature NEED human intervention to survive...i'm fine with test tube meat...
but have tasted you ever the difference in beef from a grass fed cow to a corn fed cow...
wild cows-buffalo water buffalo cape buffalo theres more im sure those are just as close to cows as wolfs are to dogs
but your right if we didnt eat cows there would be very very few of the wild
or tame variety truely wild horses dont exist theyre all tame ones that escaped and bred unless you count zebras cows can breed WITH BUFFALO

We should keep killing millions of cows each year just to keep the domestic variety from going extinct?
This is What's Causing Climate Changeif you tried to list the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions you might say cars or cows or airplanes.

To many cow forts in the world makes for a sweaty beer. Please eat more veggies less meat!!!
when people claim that eating veggies will stop cattle farming and lead to less green house gass production1. farm subsidies means that the cattle will live longer before being slaughtered for a cull
or beef production. 2. cattle farming will move to areas like colby beef production also again increasing the length of the cattle life span
and increase in farts also the beer and speciual diets fed to the cattle will increase the farts. 3. the increase in vegetables will decrease the natural arid landscapes kept by cattle farmers that adds to the clean air in favour for industrial farming that ruins natural habitat
and only produces plants that do little to clean the air or moderate the microclimate...
so shut up about the cow farts and preach electric cars instead...if you must open your mouth at all after this...
This creature is a gerenuk Litocranius walleri a species of antelope native to the dry brush and scrubland of East Africa.
The gerenuk is called also the long-necked giraffe though it is not closely related to the giraffe.
though it is in the same subfamily as the gazelles. The gerenuk's identification with the giraffe comes from both its long neck and its feeding habits.
As the gerenuk lives in hot dry sparsely-vegetated areas it has to reach high up to find leaves
and twigs to eat --so it stands up on its super-muscled hind legs reaches its long neck up
and can plug leaves off the acacia tree that gazelles and other antelopes can't come close to.
Their appearance is adorable and odd; it looks as though they have enormous ears but in fact their ears are proportional to the rest of the body.
There are an estimated 95000 gerenuks in the wild; the species is listed as Near Threatened with habitat loss and fragmentation the key culprits.
Hi gerenuk! Maybe you should disqualify zoologists from winning and ask the proposed winner about their career path.

#Here's How Big A Problem Wolves Are For Cattle Ranchers Infographic We got a lot of heat for this essay about problematic wolf-hunting laws in Wyoming.
As a followup here's a nice visual representation of all the threats facing cattle in the United states
Much of the motivation for the laws allowing wolf-hunting in states like Wyoming (though this is national data) come from an assumption that wolves are a major problem for cattle ranchers--that wolves are responsible for significant so-called
unintended cattle loss. Unintended cattle loss by the way is the term the USDA uses for cattle who die before they are killed in slaughterhouses.
The data does not support that assumption. This data comes from the U s. Department of agriculture and the infographic was made by the Sierra Club.
if they didn't allow hunting the wolf population would balloon with the easy meal that cattle present.
That means if you want to hunt deer elk moose antelope ducks geese cougars and now wolves you have to buy a permit.
Some of the cattle are never found because they have been consumed completely or their remains have been moved to a location the farmers can't access.
I suppose probably comparing it with the the total cattle market nationwide. The problem with this approach being that not all the cattle ranchers in the U s. share one big budget of profits and expenses.
To the large operator who has deep pockets no maybe that much money isn't such a big deal.
But not all cattle ranchers can afford to lose livestock to wolves. Consider that. As for wolves being dangerous to humans or not
and kill the American bison is safe to you and I. The fact is Dan is an idiot.
It isn't even acceptable to calculate it state wide in Montana given that so few cattle are exposed to wolves.
and across freezing rivers moms being separated from their calves or not even allowed to fully give birth.
So that's why cow heel soup is so expensive. Damn wolves. lolthis is Popsci website blog

#Herd Of Secret Drug Goats Discovered At Biotech Ranchlet's say you're a giant biotech company in sunny California
and you have a big ranch where you keep thousands of goats. You use the goats to produce all kinds of antibodies that you then extract
and sell to biological researchers all over the world. You are in fact one of the world's biggest suppliers of these antibodies--a true industry leader.
They keep telling you that you need to provide adequate veterinary care for your goats and that the animals'facilities must be maintained in good care
I don't know failing to mention that you've got a barn down the road with 841 goats inside of it--give'em one less place to make trouble.
along with the 841 goats 12 of which were not technically speaking in good shape. To make matters worse the inspector could tell that the barn had been used for a while
instead to get there cow or meat from China they all be dead including their pets.

145 Wild Bisonthe America bison (whose scientific name we re delighted to report is used Bison bison bison to roam across the prairies by the millions
Bison have bounced since back often by interbreeding with cattle. Yellowstone s population of 5000 bison is the largest and most genetically pure
but it has a problem: Although the 145 bison to be given away have a clean bill of health many of the park's bison are carrying a disease that devastates livestock herds.
Brucellosis is caused by the bacteria Brucella abortus so named because it causes cattle to miscarry their fetuses.
The disease has been eradicated in 48 states everywhere except Wyoming and Montana where 50 percent of Yellowstone s wild bison may be infected.
That s something that makes local cattle farmers understandably nervous. Since 2005 Montana has quarantined the bison inside the park to keep them away from livestock
and the park has attempted to lower the prevalence of the disease in wild bison. Part of the plan included culling diseased bison from herds
and another part used calves that tested negative for Brucella to establish a small disease-free population that was kept segregated from untested bison.
Although a 2011 study said that the measures have not been successful in reducing the prevalence of brucellosis in the overall population there hasn t yet been documented a case of transmission between Yellowstone bison and livestock.
The program did manage to establish a Brucella-free herd in a research facility and over the last few years bison from that population have occassionally been given away to start new herds on public lands and Native american territories.
A study published this spring confirmed that the quarantine procedures worked and the segregated bison were Brucella-free.
Now the park is ready to give away a new installment of healthy bison. Conservationists hope eventually the iconic animals will once again roam freely (and safely) across the grasslands of the American Midwest n

or forage that cattle are able to eat. Cattle don't eat tumbleweed. They can pile up against houses creating a fire hazard.
I had a call from another fellow in California just recently who's just terrified of the fire risk Berner says.
California s drought means less alfalfa for dairy cows forcing farmers to import feed from other states.
My family have been cattle ranchers for generations. Abley is one of at least 1500 people in the United states who suffer allergic reactions after eating meat
non-primate mammals such as pigs sheep and cows. Humans don t make the sugar and we all have some form of immune response to it.
Finally this vegan milk can be turned into Real Vegan Cheese in the same way that normal cheese is produced from cow milk.
and could also curb dairy farming's impacts on the environment such as emissions of methane a greenhouse gas from cow farts and decomposing manure.
or help raise cattle in places where noxious weeds often hurt rancher's productivity. You could presumably give the cattle microbes from others that have become accustomed to eating these plants
or perhaps even use bacteria found in the droppings of other animals (here's looking at you packrats).
Traditionally cheesemakers use rennet from the lining of cow stomachs to get their chymosin ut an estimated 80 to 90 percent of hard cheeses in the U s. are made with bacteria modified with the rennet-producing cow gene.
This allows the other species to steer clear and avoid putting up all the energy that would be required for stealing away said flower.

and 20000 lab-grown cow muscle cells the world's first lab-grown burger made its debut last year.
Raising cattle takes up a lot of arable land and water and creates greenhouse gas emissions. Engineers working on in vitro meat hope their creations will be less harmful on the environment.
That's still not competitive with cow-grown ground beef. Plus it doesn't take into account other costs of running a bioreactor such as hiring three or four well-trained people.
It's not clear yet that cultured meat is r will be ore environmentally friendly than meat cut from cows.
Doctors also already use heart valves taken from pigs and cows in human surgeries. It seems pig hearts are just a little too foreign for primate bodies to accept easily however.
Cows. Cattle emit methane a greenhouse gas that's less abundant than carbon dioxide but pound for pound has contributed more to global warming than CO2 over the last 100 years.
Methane is often an underappreciated greenhouse gas but it's been back in the news lately.
So researchers have come up with some interesting ideas for making cows less methane-ey. Financial times recently reported on a few of these efforts as has Popular Science.
Apparently most cow methane doesn't come from cow farts. Ninety-seven per cent of all the methane gas is released by the front end through burps not from the back end Juan Tricarico of the Innovation Center for U s. Dairy a nonprofit research organization told Financial times. Tricarico
directs a project at his center called Cow of the Future. So what goes into the cow of the future?
Academic researchers are trying to better understand the microbes that live in the cow digestive system whence cow methane comes.
Such research could reveal the best least methane-ey diet for cows. Or maybe the cow of the future could take probiotic supplements to boost her gut population of non-methane-producing microbes?
One U s. company already puts research like that to work. C-Lock of South dakota sells feeding stations containing supplements such as basil that reduce the methane cows produce Financial times reports.
C-Lock also sells a machine that vacuums up cows'breath and measures its methane content.
In one quirky solution researchers in Argentina have developed backpacks for cows that collect the cows'gaseous emissions.
Theoretically such gas could be a power source. But collecting cow methane on a large scale is totally improbable Jorge Antonio Hilbert a researcher with Argentina's National Institute of Agricultural Technology told Financial times. The backpacks are mainly for measuring cow emissions as Popular
Science reported in 2008. Financial times i
#Missiles And Rockets Might Soon Smell Like Pine Treesin an effort to launch things skyward in a more sustainable way researchers have coaxed bacteria to produce a highly combustible compound called pinene.

#Goats Found To Be Much Smarter Than Previously Believednew research found that most goats tested could quickly figure out how to solve a mechanical puzzle that yielded a delicious piece of fruit.
Of the 12 goats tested nine of them got it within fewer than a dozen trials on average.
which actually might have been a smart idea (and it's not like the goats knew they'd be DQ'ed)
The scientists retested the goats 10 months later and this time they solved the puzzle much more quickly within two minutes.
The speed at which the goats completed the task at 10 months compared to how long it took them to learn indicates excellent long-term memory co-author Dr Elodie Briefer at ETH Zurich said in a statement.
The study published this week in Frontiers in Zoology shows that goats can learn rather quickly
Researchers had suspected that goats are intelligent based on their ability to colonize new and harsh environments to find
