Excerpt from Report by Mr. James M. Sinclair on the Hog-Raising and Pork-Packing Industry in the United States, and on the Live Stock and Frozen Meat Exportation of the Argentine Republic In some places it was stated that unthreshed wheat had been fed successfully to hogs. The ripe wheat had been cut, bound, and stacked, and the sheaves given to the hogs 111 open yards. The hogs in this way eating more slowly were able to digest itbetter. This was in the first stages of fattening. The hogs in this way received considerable exercise. Many farmers in Victoria could not fail to notice how hogs will thrive when turned into wheat stubbles which do not seem to furnish much feed for them, and it seems feasible to imagine that they would do excellently on sheaves of wheat fed to them. In feeding dry threshed wheat to hogs, farmers in the States stated they masticated it better when it was fed to them sprinkled on the grass, where the latter was not too long. In this way they ate slowly, not having the opportunity to bolt it the same as if given to them in a trough. An enormous consumption of wheat took place in the United States between July and December last in feeding to hogs and all farm animals, consequent on the partial failure in several states of the corn crop and the cheapness of wheat.

Excerpt from The World's Meat Future: An Account of the Live Stock Position and Meat Prospects of All Leading Stock, Countries of the World With Full, Lists of Freezing Works For several years prior to the war it was a widely held theory that the world's meat consumption was overtaking the supply. Not so much to combat this belief as to furnish the industries concerned with the fullest facts governing the future as well as the present position, I have published from time to time in The Pastoral Review particulars of progress and development of meat production in the later fields of enterprise as well as in the domains of more mature exploita tion of this resource of Nature. The assembling of this and much other information within the covers of the present volume is, I think, the first attempt to treat the subject at all comprehensively.

Focusing on the interactions of producers, sellers and consumers of meat across the world, Richard Perren elucidates aspects of the evolution of the international economy and the part played by the investment of capital and the enterprise of individuals. The study utilises the government reports and papers issued by all countries involved in the meat trade, including North and South America, Australia, New Zealand and Britain. Beginning in the nineteenth century allows a comprehensive analysis of how an efficient meat exporting industry was built. The industry required investment, which was part of the general process of economic development. Perren focuses on the nature of the firms involved with the trade, the part played in the industry's development by foreign investment and the encouragement given by governments. Close attention is also paid to the stimulus of war, the impact of animal health and food hygiene regulations on producers and the competing demands of interest groups involved in the food businesses. By taking an historical as well as a contemporary approach, the book contributes to the current discussion on the effectiveness of animal and meat inspection in identifying farm livestock diseases such as tuberculosis and BSE. This study advances our knowledge of the process of food distribution in the industrialising and post-industrial economies, and leads to a comprehensive understanding of an important component of the international food chain.

Excerpt from The Livestock and Meat Situation: Sept.-Oct. 1952 A production next year equalling 19h? Would not provide as much meat for consumption per person as in that year, since the population is larger and military requirements for meat greater. But the consumption of lhh pounds per person forecasted for 1953 would be several pounds more than in 1952 and about equal to the level of iou8-5o.
