Scientists at project partner Bond Pet Foods created the precision-brewed chicken protein by inserting a peptide from chicken DNA into the genome of brewer’s yeast and cultivating it in stainless steel tanks similar to those used in commercial operations. At left is a tray of the modified brewer’s yeast, and on the right is the dog kibble used in the feeding study at Illinois.
