What kind of animal products are worth nearly $12/pound? Maybe fake meat starter? Hold on to your stomach!
From “The Milkweed” a dairy farm magazine:
“For big beef slaughtering facilities, big Holstein Springers have added value that few persons can fathom: the blood from the fetuses is worth perhaps $100 per liter. Extracting so-called fetal calf serum can add a few hundred dollars to the end-use value of a big Holstein Springer.”
“Among other uses, strong demand for fetal calf serum arises from a curious source: production of some alternate meat products, specifically some lab-cultured meat substitutes. Through biotechnology, lab cultured meat substitutes are grown in vats. The medium for some lab-cultured meat substitutes is fetal calf serum. Fetal calf blood provides a wealth of dense nutrients used to grow meat-like tissue in days or weeks instead of Mother Nature’s year-plus time required to bring a beef animal to slaughter.”
The fetus, which remains alive during the following process to ensure blood quality, has a needle inserted into its heart. Its blood is then drained until the fetus dies, a death that usually takes about five minutes. This blood is then refined, and the resulting extract is FBS
