At the annual meeting of the N.Z. Co-operative Pig Marketing Association it was stated that complaints had been received recently about fishy flavour in pork. The chairman said he thought that the probable cause was either the use of whale oil or fish meal in the fattening pen. He warned farmers that neither of these should be used to feed pigs within two months of killing, and that if this complaint bcame at all common it would absolutely kill the export trade. Either of these foods was quite good for store pigs, hut must not on any account be used for topping them off.
