In the pork industry’s unending
quest to cut corners, producers have started feeding pigs mouldy
grain that’s been otherwise deemed only worthy of destruction.
The grain is contaminated with
mycotoxin (Fusarium fungi), but according
to researchers at the
Prairie Swine Centre in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the negative effects of the
toxin can be counteracted with the addition of spray-dried animal plasma (i.e.,
animal blood). Animal blood is a by-product of the slaughter industry, and
shockingly, most animal plasma is derived from pig’s blood.
To recap, when feeding toxic
grain to pigs, make sure to spray it with pig blood first to reduce the risk of
illness.
You can enjoy a diet free of blood
and toxic mould by adopting a plant-based diet. To learn how, go to Choose.Veg.ca.
