Extract

Tapioca flour, sometimes referred to as manioc meal, is now a comparatively well-known feeding stuff. Its value as a food for pigs has been tested in several recent farm feeding trials in this country and on the Continent (1, 2, 3), and, as a consequence, its merit, when used in partial replacement of barley or maize, is now generally recognised. Sago pith meal, on the other hand, has not hitherto been used in pigfeeding in this country, and no information respecting its composition and feeding value is available.
