Penicillin Waste As Pig And Poultry Food
Pigs and poultry are being used in a corporation feeding experiment' at Bury, Lancashire (Eng.), to test the use of penicillin waste mixed with ordinary kitchen waste to increase -the protein content of animal foodstuff. Penicillin waste, a yeast-like substance produced in large quantities by Imperial Chemical Industries, Trafford Park, is cooked with the kitchen waste under steam pressure for an hour. It is dried and put into bins, to set in the form of puddings, says a “Daily Mirror” cable. It is then sold at £4 15s per ton. Satisfactory reports have been received from the first few dozen pig and poultry keepers who have used it.
