In response to the recent launch of Chick Bites, the world’s first pet food containing cultivated meat, Andrew Knight, veterinary professor of Animal Welfare and a UK, European, American and New Zealand veterinary specialist, offers an in-depth commentary on the significance of this significant development. The new product, which combines plant-based ingredients with Meatly’s cultivated chicken, marks a major step forward in sustainable pet food, with a limited release now available at Pets at Home in Brentford, London.
In this video, Knight provides valuable insights into the environmental benefits of cell-based meat in pet food and the potential health considerations for pets. He also discusses the future of the cultivated meat industry in pet care and the broader ethical implications. The commentary includes a clip from his recent appearance on BBC Breakfast, where he further expands on the importance of this innovation.
