myostatin in muscle (double muscle cow)

cows produce beef and milk. but take a time to think, how about if cows are consumed by us (the beefs), how many are killed? a cow has reproduction time is about 7-8 months, but we consumed it everytime. the solution of this problem is using genetic engineering. the genetic engineering that makes mysostatin gene is deleted. first of all, myostatin is a gene that regulate muscle (size etc) not only in cows but also in humans.

when we deleted this gene, a muscle growth become uncontrol-able. they are getting bigger. some cows are using this genetic engineering by selective breeding. that's why we are still 'safe' whether we consumed beefs from this selective breeding cows.

in some human, the case about myostatin which is deleted is become 'mutant'. they are still human, but with a big muscle and hyperactive. the negative side in human, they can cause many diseases like premature or kidney's abnormal (the size is bigger than usual).

in cows, the deleting of myostatin gene makes the meat became more lean, because fats are deposition into a meat.

so, we can save our money and no more cows to be killed.Image may be NSFW.
