Hello and welcome to Business Daily from the BBC. I'm Manuel Saragossa.

Coming up, no animals were harmed in the making of this meat.

We created the world's first cultured meat pet treat. It was made with cultured mouse.

And yet we fed those treats to the cats within the company. And they were a hit. The cats thought they were really tasty.

How biotechnology could transform the way we source our food. the cats within the company and they were a hit. The cats thought they were really tasty.

How biotechnology could transform the way we source our food for humans as well as animals.

It's utopia for vegans.

Billions of people who don't eat enough protein because it might be too expensive will have access to nutritious food which raises your IQ, raises your health, your education

profile and the economy and so on and so forth. That's all here in Business Daily from the BBC.

Monty, look. Monty, my dog is having lunch and I've just poured kibble into his bowl from a bag of dried dog food.

Now, the list of ingredients on the bag here tells me that this dog kibble contains 36% chicken

and other things like chickpea flour, dry carrot,

all that kind of stuff.

And as an animal lover, it kind of pains me to think I'm feeding Monty other dead animals,

especially when you consider the lives those animals led.

It's the animals that died before slaughter.

You know, the animal agriculture industry is not a nice one.

Shannon Faulkner there.

She's with a startup pet food company called Because Animals.

Pet food meat, she told me, tends to be waste from the slaughterhouse.

And so there are many animals that suffocate or dehydrate or become too sick.

Those animals can't be used for human food.
