펫푸드 시장에서의 배양육 활성화 방안

Abstract

Social changes such as the recent increase in single-person households are affecting the increase in the number of pets and the position of pets in the home. The meaning of “pet family” as a household member in a comprehensive sense rather than “animal” in the sense of simple parenting is being newly given, and the explosive increase in pets is focused on the tendency of new consumers, so-called “companion,” along with industrial impact analysis from the perspective of pet food companies. Naturally, it leads to an increase in meat consumption for feed, and paradoxically, the problem of slaughtering other animals for animal feed is emerging. Therefore, it is necessary to review and study alternative meat or cultured meat for the production of pet food, and the current status and future prospects of pet food, one of the ways to revitalize the cultured meat market, were discussed.
