Extract

In 1956 the authors showed that formalin could be satisfactorily used for the preservation of skim milk subsequently given to growing pigs from weaning to slaughter (Barber, Braude and Mitchell, 1956). Since then a large proportion of the skim milk used by pig producers in this country has had formalin added to it. No evidence from controlled experiments was hitherto available concerning the value of formalin-treated skim milk for the sucking pig, and it was for this purpose that the experiment reported was carried out.
