GELATINE FROM CALVES.
NEW INDUSTRY POSSIBLE. FREEZING WORKS’ SIDELINE (From Our Own Reporter.) Hawera, Sept. 13. The carcase of a newly-born calf contains a very much higher percentage of jelatine than that of older animals, and from this fact arises the possibility of another important industry, subsidiary to the dairying industry being established in Taranaki, according to the opinion of Mr. C. J. Hawken, chairman of the Mells (Mokoia) Dairy Company. When discussing the desirability of keeping the Patea freezing works open, Mr. Hawken said that a representative of an English firm, with large works at Home, recently visited South Taranaki with the object of enquiring into the opportunities offering for the establishment of the jelatine making business from the dairy farmers’ surplus calves. He was very much struck with the possibilities. If the Patea works were kept going, continued Mr. Hawken, there was no reason why the many thousands of calves now killed and buried could not be collected in motor lorries and taken to the Patea works, where the jelatine could be manufactured.
