POOR N.Z. PORK
COMPLAINTS FROM LONDON FEEDING MAY BE AT FAULT (From Our Own Correspondent) HAMILTON, Friday. Advice that serious complaints regarding the condition of New Zealand pork shipped. to the United Kingdom had come to hand was intimated by tho New Zealand Meat Producers’ Board in a letter received by the Waikato Farmers’ Union today. Tho board’s secretary enclosed extracts from letters and cablegrams received from the London office, all of which referred in critical terms to the state of baconer pigs from the Dominion. It was stated that the fat smelled tallowy and tho bacon, when cooked, had a fishy flavour. The opinion was expressed by members that the feeding of whale oil to pigs before killing was responsible. A motion was passed that the union bring to the notice of the Agricultural Department the apparent facts regarding the use of fish oil, and asking the department to warn farmers Should suspicions concerning its detrimental effect be confirmed.
