Understand animal and cellular efficiency, yield, and input
Because cultivated meat replicates the fundamental biology of the source animal, animal-level data may be informative for predicting cellular behavior in culture.

Description
The animal agriculture industry has data on feed efficiency, growth rates, and nutritional requirements across breeds and species. Because cultivated meat replicates the fundamental biology of the source animal, animal-level data may be informative for predicting cellular behavior in culture. This question can first be addressed at a theoretical level by considering which mechanisms are likely to operate similarly or differently in culture. Gathering experimental data on cellular behavior across several exemplar species and breeds may allow for correlations between animal-level data and culture parameters.
