Extract

The growth-promoting properties of maize, when fed to pigs in conjunction with the proper supplements, have long been recognised. Unfortunately, on account of its detrimental influence on the fat of the pork or bacon, the liberal use of maize in the rations, particularly the finishing rations, of porkers and baconers is to be deprecated. This impairment of the quality of the fat is attributed to the influence of the oil constituent, of which maize contains usually from per cent., compared with but per cent. in barley.
