This document is not only a record of how turkeys can be modified by means of gene editing.

It is also mixed with some of the doctors' mental journeys.

So as long as you can listen to the beginning of the boring academic article in the previous paragraph.

Later, it was interesting to see the part of the doctor's mental journey.

[In order to complete the re-editing of the turkey gene, I chose a lot of editing objects]

[Among them are peacocks, and there are a variety of other different large birds]

[However, after editing the genes of these birds, the new species produced are not particularly ideal]

[Some meat is very woody, some are very fat, and they all have a special smell]

[Or the genetic inheritance is not stable, and the first generation of species is not bad]

[But when you wait until the second generation, there will be various problems, and the third generation will have serious degradation]

About this paragraph, a description of the genetic modification of turkeys.

It's not as boring as the previous opening paragraph.

Even if Xu Xin doesn't know any advanced scientific knowledge, he can watch it with relish.

It is not difficult to see that the doctor also tried different ways to improve the genes of the turkey.

[And after thousands of choices, I finally found a suitable editing object]

[That's the ostrich!! 】

Ostrich?

Xu Xin's mind came to mind, that kind of stupid big guy who was dumbfounded.

The stupid bird that buries its head in the sand when it is frightened......

Can this thing still be eaten?

In his mind, wasn't this a zoo ornamental bird?

He hadn't really thought it was edible.

[In fact, ostriches have extensive breeding experience in South Africa, Italy, and country M]

[It's just that because of the high cost of breeding, it has not been able to become the mainstream meat]

[For this experiment, I went to South Africa]

[This country is currently the country with the most ostrich breeding and consumption in the world]

Dr. Smith's experience deeply attracted Xu Xin.

[In fact, my bosses, there are many people who have private zoos in South Africa]

[But I'm not interested in the lions and elephants inside, I prefer the ostriches they raise]

[After communicating with the keeper of the ostrich, I found out that this is really a treasure bird]

[First of all, its economic value is very high, and feathers can be made into clothing]

[Leather can also be made into high-end leather goods, leather clothing]

[And its meat is also quite delicious, although it is a bird, but the ostrich is different from his relatives]

[The meat of other poultry is white meat, but the meat of ostriches is red meat]

[And his muscle fat content is only one-third of beef]

[It is said that the fat content is so low, then its meat should be very chai and very hard]

[But this is not the case, the muscle fibers of the ostrich are more delicate]

[So although the fat content is low, the taste is very soft, and it tastes more like lean pork]

[But the nutritional value is at least three times higher than that of pork]

[Because he is very rich in unsaturated fatty acids, and a variety of vitamins, the most important thing is that the protein content is extremely high]

[And the ostrich meat has no peculiar smell, on the first day I arrived in South Africa, I ate three tons of ostrich meat in a row]

[I opened my eyes when I ate every meal and made it into a fried meat steak]

[The meat is exceptionally soft and delicate, but it is even more delicious than steak......]

Just seeing this, Xu Xin was already stunned.

He never imagined that ostrich meat could be so magical.

The meat we generally eat is mainly divided into red meat and white meat.

Red meat mainly refers to the meat of large livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep, and is called red meat because of its high hemoglobin content and red meat quality.

White meat, on the other hand, is the meat of poultry and aquatic products such as chickens, ducks, and fish, and is called white meat because of its low hemoglobin content.

Generally, red meat has thicker muscle fibers, which is more laborious to cook and more chewy to eat.

If you don't do it well, it will be very difficult.

But white meat is different, because the muscle fibers are very delicate, so it is very easy to cook.

It tastes very soft and tender.

But he never imagined that there was still a kind of meat in this world, which could have the characteristics of both kinds of meat.

Since this ostrich is so bullish, what kind of turkey do you raise?

Wouldn't it be nice to raise ostriches directly?

Why didn't such a cow-break meat become popular in our country before?

It is said that the foodie nature of the Chinese people, this should not be!

Xu Xin simply took out his mobile phone and began to search for the entry of ostrich meat.

It's good that the result is not searched, this search is ...... He soon regretted why he owed it.

It turned out that he searched for the entry.

It's all a directory of a certain cannibal demon in a certain southern province.

clicked on it and took a look, only to know that in 200X, there was such a sensational case in China.

A mother went to a southern province to report that her child had disappeared there.

But the local police casually found a reason and sent her back.

But the mother did not give up, because she had been dreaming a lot lately.

Dreaming of a child, saying that he is in the local area......

So she launched a small advertisement in the local area and began to look for a child, and then just in time for the outbreak of the Internet era.

On the Internet, she met many family members who were also looking for their children's relatives with her.

And the last place where those people's families were seen before they disappeared was here.

Then they took the case to the province, and finally it attracted attention......

The case was quickly solved, and the reason for solving the case was also bizarre.

There is a local ostriches who sell ostrich meat in the market.

It is said that the ostrich meat he sells is very fragrant, and many people say that it is good after eating it.

Some people even think about it if they don't eat for a few days, and they even ask him to buy it.

One day, someone came to his house and went into the house to buy ostrich meat.

As a result, the ostrich meat did not see it, but saw a room full of mutilated corpses......

And then the case went viral......

Since then, I have never heard anyone sell ostrich meat in the domestic market.

After reading the news, Xu Xin felt bad all over.

Originally, I thought it was magical ostrich meat, but I didn't feel fragrant anymore......

[It is said that this ostrich is simply full of advantages, and it can even be said that it is a perfect bird]

[On the market, it should have been popular on a large scale a long time ago]

[But in fact, at present, in the market, except for South Africa, Italy, and M country]

[Few other countries breed ostriches as a major source of meat]

[One of the main reasons is that this bird is too timid and is very easy to be frightened]

[Once you are frightened, although you will not be scared to death, you will be anorexic and fall off the scales]

[There is another reason, that is, the breeding cycle of ostriches is too long]

[Adult ostriches, the average weight can reach 200 catties, and the meat yield is as high as 70%]

[But the problem, an ostrich, from the young bird to the slaughter, must be bred for at least fifteen months]

Seeing this paragraph, Xu Xin knew that this should be the real reason why ostriches did not become popular.

The cost of breeding is too high!

Fifteen months?

The cattle have been slaughtered, and the pigs have been slaughtered for two rounds......

In terms of time cost, it is too cost-effective.

And for farmers, it's not just about the cost of feed and time.

The most critical is the risk of disease, in case of an outbreak of avian influenza during this period.

That may be a year of hard work, and it will all be in vain.

The growth cycle of white-feathered chickens is only one month, and even if there is an epidemic, it will only waste a month's time.

Farmers naturally know how to choose......
