You can accomplish the same thing through cross breeding, or by selecting heat tolerant breeds that marble well. It just takes a lot longer, which is why they want to do gene splicing.
Not really crossbreeding also introduces a lot of other beneficial genes to overlay and in the end ... over few generations you would end up with a best adapted subspecies that would be heat resistant - but thats not the goal here thats not a heat resistant angus and that would not taste like and angus
2 days in the lab saves 5 generations in the field....(you just saved 30 years, give or take) Now save coral reefs from heat stress and rhinos from extinction.....
Just needs military action and backing, If the military were there watching local wildlife it'd stop. Just need the local governments to say it's fine for us to do it, and by us I mean the USA seeing as we have loads of experience being on land we don't own haha.
Brangus cattle are a mix between angus and Brahman, which is a type of zebu cattle. Brazilian ranchers could use their semen and produce calves with high marbling and heat resistance
I've traveled a lot in Brasil in the 90s and Ironically the one thing I loved the most was their lean beef, some of the best tasting stuff I"ve ever had, I'm not a big fan of soft marbled meat

That's simple. People do eat meat, and ever since the talks about how environmentally destructive the production chain of this particular industry became more broadly popularized, it sort of became a taboo. People didn't just lose their taste for that meat, but now they sort of try to pretend they're not eating it and participating indirectly in the costly and potentially destructive process going on and the price it incurs in the environment. You're right, the likelihood of this happening is greater than it simply being outlawed, and it just might be better that way, because at least that will take care of the primordial need for meat that many people have and take it easier on the resources needed to produce a pound of meat which in proportion will bring huge environmental savings. It is hypocritical to not do it.
@Sinan Malvolti Yes profit no matter the cost is very bad. But in this case not really. If people have to import meat from another country because theirs is not as good. The fuel costs alone justify the investment. Gene editing like this is totally worth it. We have selected for mutated Gene for 2 thousand years, and that's kept food on the table and prevented total de forestation.
this will have such a bad impact, they will put a patent on the gene, increase an already too huge industry, make the farmers obliged to buy the gene edited cow to be competitive. GMO's could be great things in the hand of communities interests instead of companies ones.
You're right, but do you see "communities" paying or making investigations? How many people have you seen worried about paying good scientists instead of good soccer players? Sorry to say but "communities" are only interested in bread and circus.
@@javiersosa3368 not the same thing, and not what I said. You cannot patent a naturally occurring gene, and the SCOTUS as already ruled on this aspect. Also, obtaining a patent doesn't mean it will hold up in court.
This is a story. Senepol are actually near the quality of Angus. People have been doing Senepol x Angus for a while now in Brazil. Senepol are a unique breed from the US island of St. Croix. There is also the Brangus breed which is 3/8 Brahma and 5/8 Angus. It works pretty well in the heat.
There's a case of a completely breast cancer free woman, she was edited while still an embryo because her family had this disease, and was born as a healthy baby.

It's NOT a question of semantics. It either is genetically modified or is not. Of course, though, that Brazil will eventually approve it-for the right sum, as always.
I think most of us have trouble with GMO when it's a different species being inserted. For instance, oyster into a piece of celery... Or when it changes the structure of a plant so that it's resistant to herbicides... Rather than "just" taking a gene that one wants from one cow and inserting it into another cow. It's still a fairly big deal to accomplish scientifically, but it's not adding new genetics; what they've used already exists within the same species.
That's great! Most time people don't realize that they can adapt to their environment over a few generations, there was a farmer over in California US thst purchased Dairy cows from Wisconsin US and didn't understand that because the cows were used to chilly weather, they were simply overheating in the new warm climate. After several months they started to adjust, but it does take time
South Africa Is situated on the latitude of California. Nothing extreme. Africa does not always mean burning hot, as Canada does not always mean freezing cold. Meanwhile, Brazil is much more close to the equator. Actually, the most northern parts of the SAR sit on the latitude of the most southern parts of Brazil.
I wonder why they dont just bring in the senegal breed into brazil the first place? it already has some very good traits look it up on wikipedia. The only thing i can think of is some corporate bio chemist company wants to patent the breed and get royalties.
we selectiv breed animals.. so what wrong with genetic modifications? if it was clean with no deseases.. i see no problem.. but ofcource we should not let the other cows go extint
Right now the rainforest destruction caused by Brazil's meat industry is causing 100-200 species to completely go extinct EACH DAY. We are facing the 6th mass extinction...and we are the cause of it.
So comforting to know that once all the Brazilian rainforests have been cleared and converted to monoculture pastureland, there will be vast flatulent herds of genetically modified beef cattle, belching and farting greenhouse gases as they dominate what previously had been a bio-diverse environment.
I'm primarily just worried about more future forest clearing for grazing if this takes off. Now if they made a more efficient cow that would be awesome.
@@dinosaurlover96 i want to see how they will react to a tropical climate because the most prized cows we have is the red and grey brahman zebu and the nelore.
There are some techniques. The best one that I know of now is called CRISPR. Look up on UA-cam, there are some short and easy videos about it as well as more in depth ones.
Did anyone notice the calf's left eye at 8:57? Through the entire video they only show her right side. I'm not on either side of this argument, I just thought they should have shown more of that.
I’m not a vegetarian by choice, it was a combo of being born to a veg mom and being terrorized by my dad in an effort to get me to eat meat. Bc of that I developed a deep psychological revulsion to meat. That being said, I’m now really grateful. I really like cows and pigs and I’m happy I don’t crave their flesh.
What isn't ? Is there a problem with it by the way ? Many of you possessions were created by corporations in search for profit, in fact, if it wasn't for profit pursue, we wouldn't even be communicating with each other, in fact, if it wasn't for profit pursue, we would be living in the stone age. Don't be a hypocrite.
Cheaper production costs by these cooperations drive down prices in the long term so it all benefits the consumer in the end, and it doesn't have any drawbacks in the present so I don't see what's wrong with it
@@mjrotondi5086 Not necessarily necessary but ooohh so tasty. Sorry but I can never be convinced that a mouthwatering ribeye could be horrible! 😋😋😋🤤🤤🤤🤤😋
The video also miss out 1 crucial information. Brazilian zebu take more than 2 years to finish while American Angus take a mere 12 - 14 months. Also the calving interval tend to be a whole 1 or 2 month shorter due to the Angus superior fertility. Also Angus is also earlier maturing and have shorter gestation period. That is why despite america having 2.5 times fewer cattle compared to Brazil, yet it can produce 14% more beef without increasing the herd size over the last few decades.
We've been genetically modifying livestock and pets for over the course of thousands of years of selective breeding. We picked animals with desirable mutations and bred animals who shared that mutation to encourage it to present in it's offspring. We have done this even more so with plants. Most fruits and veggies look nothing like they originally did when we first started cultivating them. As long as they are just swapping the genes of the same species I have no issue with GMO. I just don't want any spider goat or other cross species GMO as food.
This technology seems dangerous. Not this particular instance. But i've seen people suggest wiping out mosquitos. Also wiping genes that may be perceived as bad in people may actually turn out to be necessary.
The problem is not that the cows don't eat in the heat, it is that in Brazil, to produce beef means cutting down the rain forest. Other countries are also to blame for even allowing imports from Brazil that come from deforestation.
Ignorance is a bliss. Why don’t you go to Brazil and see with your own eyes if the deforestation is happening the way the international news are saying. Amazon is even touched a bit , still there intact.
I'm really glad you guys didn't show only "Rio's favelas" takes in the beginning. That's a way to show people Brazil is not only Rio and samba (in my opinion, this is the Brazil that could be erased forever). Our genetic engineering is also high developed for some areas! Nice video folks.
You're better off raising beef cattle in Northern Ontario, where acreage is extremely cheap, and the hay and pasture lands are really underutilized and underdeveloped. Then ship the beef.
Why not use fatty zebu breeds like Sahiwal or Brahman? the one which the video showed looked like what we call a sibbi bull here in Pakistan and its' meat is indeed tough and lean, although I still don't find fatier meat that much more delicious.
Really because I'm sure fidal Castro did some breeding and genetic mixing with his dairy cows that were used to cold Canadian climate and brought and breed with another type of cow and out of 100s of babies he got the geneticly perfect cow that produced I think over 100 liters of milk a day and could stand the hot Cuban environment
While that zebu beef may not be as tender as Angus is a lot healthier than the corn-fed hormone and anti-biotic injected feedlot beef we produce in the US.
I think the problem is that this could lead to an increase in deforestation and I think there are better places to rase beef, given better management (holistic manament(Allan Savory)
Leading to more deforestation? Dude the true responsible for the deforestation are illegals both lumberjackers and ore miners.THEY are harming forests and rivers. Pecuary only comes last, when the land has been already deforested.
Andrea Francolini I thought it was an old video as well, mostly because the technique used to engineer the gene edit, given the recent development of CRISPR-Cas9
You don't know what you are talking about. Dairy cattle are not Beef cattle because Dairy cattle produce meat fit for animals at the end of their lives. Humans want specific types and textures of meat, and dairy breeds don't make good eating.
I'm a little disappointed. I mean, sure, this help Brazil's economy and all, but I was really hoping for something along the lines of an "eco cow", one with reduced gas emissions.
They could probably do it but they dont want to spend the money becouse it wouldnt help them make more money... Probably would beacouse people dont want to eat beef due to that.
In Brasil people normally dont care about this stuff (they normally dont care about anything tbh) and there is more, the lab type doesnt have the same filling as eating normal beff, they are spongy.
why didn't they just pour all the ressources into 3d printed meat instead? then you could have angus beef in Brazil and save the climate at the same time... Jobs done!
Look at his eyes when he says "precision breeding". I have no problem with GMOs, but to deny that this cow is genetically modified is just ridiculous, and Beef Dennis Nedry here knows it.
Due to global warming animals which lives on cold environment (in this video ANGUS cow) will definitely mutated into animal which can survive in hot environment and all naturally.
Binod Aryal it’s not mandatory they might as well fail to acquire such mutations and hence sent straight to extinction if natural selection has no favourable mutations to select for in the population
Well, it is not like making a dramatic implantation of an organism on another (like putting a piece of reptile DNA into a plant), but just taking a genetic piece of a cow and put it in another cow. So it is 30 years of selective breeding done in a few days.
Gene Editing, Cloning and all of this work for a single Heifer Calf?? You know you could just Cross a Angus with Senepol, this will Produce a F1 Calf that has the "slick" gene(which is dominant by the way) This F1 is 50% Angus and ca be crossed back to Angus and produce 50% Progeny with the slick mutation, that is 75% Angus right there without any Gene Editing nor Cloning. I would say why Stop there you can do the same with Senepol and Wagyu keep breeding cows with the slick gene mutation which is pretty easy to spot even at birth
Bos Taurus is still the superior breed , Russia is a vast country which needs no gene editing of cattle , When it goes 20 degrees below zero ,Hereford and Angus cattle breeds put on extra hair in 2 or 3 weeks ,and can witstand the cold weather,
Sounds a little ambitious. EMBRAPA has produced great results in soy, corn, sugar cane and other crops through cross-breeding, its a more direct method.
I would like to give better genetics to the next generation of people. It's a balance in the system, since we Mostly don't use natural selection anymore on our species, artificial selection should keeps the normal train of evolution life keeps going fast. We aren't playing gods, we are doing gods work fast. :)
And when it becomes a trend ,the new cool thing will be having new eyes or different hair from the one you were born with etc... And even animal parts.
You can accomplish the same thing through cross breeding, or by selecting heat tolerant breeds that marble well. It just takes a lot longer, which is why they want to do gene splicing.
That way seems better
Not really crossbreeding also introduces a lot of other beneficial genes to overlay and in the end ... over few generations you would end up with a best adapted subspecies that would be heat resistant - but thats not the goal here thats not a heat resistant angus and that would not taste like and angus

Protein is protein. Your stomach acid and gut bacteria wouldn't know the difference.
It’s time we repay these animals kindness.

Yes we should and that is by improving their gene lab/feild
I'm a little disappointed. I mean, sure, this help Brazil's economy and all, but I was really hoping for something along the lines of an "eco cow", one with reduced gas emissions.
They could probably do it but they dont want to spend the money becouse it wouldnt help them make more money...
Probably would beacouse people dont want to eat beef due to that.
Why we need this when they r about to come meet in lab
Well, could it be geneticarly modified angus lab meat?
@@faisalhussein1028 who cares we need meat which we get from not killing some animal
In Brasil people normally dont care about this stuff (they normally dont care about anything tbh) and there is more, the lab type doesnt have the same filling as eating normal beff, they are spongy.
satish sadekar because not everyone can pay millions of dollars for a lab grown hamburger
@@rudaguimaraes9 if its about to be grown in lab its gonna be cheap for sure
why didn't they just pour all the ressources into 3d printed meat instead? then you could have angus beef in Brazil and save the climate at the same time... Jobs done!
Hope they protect her from the competition, she worth billions.
Look at his eyes when he says "precision breeding". I have no problem with GMOs, but to deny that this cow is genetically modified is just ridiculous, and Beef Dennis Nedry here knows it.
Due to global warming animals which lives on cold environment (in this video ANGUS cow) will definitely mutated into animal which can survive in hot environment and all naturally.
Binod Aryal it’s not mandatory they might as well fail to acquire such mutations and hence sent straight to extinction if natural selection has no favourable mutations to select for in the population
I’m surprised no one has mentioned the red heifer prediction from the Bible. This definitely seems like a pretty clear example of that.
**My buddy actually sampled a ribeye and some ground beef from one of these cows.** When asked about it's flavour, he said "it tastes like chicken"!
These animals show so much trust in their owners and just to be backstabbed... greedy people need their meat like always
people already eat cow, this just makes it so those cows can thrive in a hot environment its a win win, kinda we still eat them regardless
South Devon Cattle are the best
Yes she is a gmo!
Tampering with a genome we still do not fully understand= what could possibly go wrong?
This must end up catastrophicly. These cows may eat the rainforest. Its also proven that GMO is responsible for obesity.
Calling genetic modification "precision breeding" is like calling torture "enhanced interrogation"
Well, it is not like making a dramatic implantation of an organism on another (like putting a piece of reptile DNA into a plant), but just taking a genetic piece of a cow and put it in another cow. So it is 30 years of selective breeding done in a few days.
Wow now I'm hungry
Hm I've always heard the Zebu breed called Brahman until now
Gene Editing, Cloning and all of this work for a single Heifer Calf?? You know you could just Cross a Angus with Senepol, this will Produce a F1 Calf that has the "slick" gene(which is dominant by the way) This F1 is 50% Angus and ca be crossed back to Angus and produce 50% Progeny with the slick mutation, that is 75% Angus right there without any Gene Editing nor Cloning. I would say why Stop there you can do the same with Senepol and Wagyu keep breeding cows with the slick gene mutation which is pretty easy to spot even at birth
We need to cut down more rainforests for pasture land, and buy Brazilian beef to make these nice people rich.
Why don’t they just use Brangus? Heat tolerant and disease resistant perfect for that environment. Cross of an angus and Brahman breed from India
Bos Taurus is still the superior breed , Russia is a vast country which needs no gene editing of cattle , When it goes 20 degrees below zero ,Hereford and Angus cattle breeds put on extra hair in 2 or 3 weeks ,and can witstand the cold weather,

Sounds a little ambitious. EMBRAPA has produced great results in soy, corn, sugar cane and other crops through cross-breeding, its a more direct method.
7:38 look at his Cunning tricky eyes
Can someone explain the tender/tough politically correct thing? I have never heard of that before
When I see a black or Red angus in SA , I think this article is likely missing an important factor.
so Brazilian rainforests will be replaced by these cows?
No. They will be replace by people like you.
Romanian accent sounds just like brazilian portuguese one.
hahaha so true!!!!
Up Next:
Gene edit Human
Dont worry, it will come soon. So we can get rid of Gene related disease.. Thanks science
Yeah, my body is a clunker. I need some upgrades.
I would like to give better genetics to the next generation of people. It's a balance in the system, since we Mostly don't use natural selection anymore on our species, artificial selection should keeps the normal train of evolution life keeps going fast. We aren't playing gods, we are doing gods work fast. :)
And when it becomes a trend ,the new cool thing will be having new eyes or different hair from the one you were born with etc... And even animal parts.

Just raise beef masters
Good. We need this.
... beff is good, is tasty
