    The document discusses the potential for producing meat through in vitro cell culture as an alternative to conventional meat production. It notes that global meat consumption is projected to double by 2050. In vitro meat is produced by extracting muscle cells from animals and multiplying them in a liquid medium that provides nutrients. The cells are attached to a scaffold and grown in a bioreactor. This process could help meet the increasing demand for meat while avoiding the environmental impacts and animal welfare issues of conventional meat production. However, the technology has not been commercialized yet and challenges remain around efficiently delivering nutrients to large volumes of cultured cells.

    Use of Meat as a source of food without slaughter

    Mrs. Shikha Singh, Iqra Bakhtiya Dr.Ambedkar Institute of Technology for Handicapped, Awadhpuri, Kanpur

    Abstract
    In a global survey it is estimated that world meat consumption will double by 2050. In few years meat and poultry industry has shocked at the outbreak of mad cow and bird flu. An alternative for disease prone meat was produced called in vitro meat or shmeat.The main concern of our study is its efficiency and efforts going on to commercialize it .Animal meat is made of skeletal muscle tissue which were completely differentiated tissue and thus cannot further proliferate. Therefore embryonic stem cells can be coaxed to become any type of cells. The most practical cell source for culturing meat would be satellite cells as they are partly differentiated. The technique involve a relatively painless process of removing muscle cell from animal and multiplying them in liquid medium that provide glucose, amino acid, minerals, vitamins etc.They are attached to scaffold and grown in stationary or rotating bioreactor for further proliferation and differentiation by stretching the scaffold.Invitro cultured meat will address the growing demand for meat in future minus the cruelty inherent in producing it. It reduces the mean of land and water pollution caused by animal waste. Nutritional value of meat can easily be controlled. This technology is not ready to place a piece of steak on the dinner plate as there is no company to back up. The biggest problem is ensuring constant supply of nutrient to the growing cell mass which is usually performed by blood vessel. The first lab grown cost US $345000. We wish to conclude with future success of this emerging technology on industrial scale as about 30 laboratories working world wide in this concern.
