the potential impact of this new
technology clean meat and the kosher
consumer is huge because as any kosher
consumer knows kosher meat is
substantially more between two and three
times more expensive then then non
kosher meat and the reason that kosher
meat is so expensive well there are two
reasons one reason is that the kosher
plant runs at one-third the rate of a
non kosher plant and you still have to
have the all the fixed cost are the same
terms the people in the plant it's just
because the animal has to be slaughtered
by a show that the the the line can't
can't run too quickly and so first of
all there's that enormous opportunity
course the other reason is that we have
the O you we are only using only about
18% of the actual even of the kosher
animals of going into into the market
even if a kosher schita
because we don't use the hailer cockerel
on the hindquarters of the animal
because that's where you find the
forbidden fats the fail EV and the gill
are not show the sciatic nerve and so
forth for us the general min hug
customer is not to use the halo claw
survive the hindquarters that already
eliminates half the animal so that has
to go into the non kosher market and
then even under kosher four quarters
we're only using about 18 percent of
this of the kosher slaughter because we
have to check each animal to make sure
that it's not a trade for that for
example in terms of the lungs there are
no adhesions or punctures and we only
get about 35% when we're only using the
glide part where the lungs are
completely smooth only 35% of that so
it's only half of that 35% that's going
into the market but if this in terms of
this clean technology we would get a
100% kosher rate because we would start
with the initial stem cells or the
genetic material of a hundred percent
Glatt Kosher animal and therefore that
would subsequent
most would be 100% glut which would have
enormous effect on terms lowering the
price of kosher meat or whether we
decide that it's whether it's even if we
were to consider it meat or not meat
let's assume that we considered meat
it would lower dramatically the cost of
that product
