Extract

The present communication deals with the results of an inquiry into the possibility of utilizing dried penicillin felt, a by-product of the manufacture of penicillin, in the feeding of livestock. The availability of this by-product on a suitable scale afforded an opportunity of obtaining information about the digestibility and biological value of a mould protein. During the course of the investigation, digestion trials with both sheep and pigs, and a farm-scale feeding trial with bacon pigs, have been carried out.
