Whale‐meat and ‐liver meals, long used in animal feeding‐stuffs as protein‐source, also contain B vitamins.
Samples representing 1950–51 season's production of two British whaling companies operating from Great Britain have been examined for six members of the vitamin‐B complex by microbiological methods. The results, compared with those obtained on other feeding stuffs and with published figures, indicate that whale‐meat meal is similar to ordinary meat meal, but whale‐liver meal is very rich in these factors.
Examination of animal requirements indicates that both products would make a substantial contribution to the daily vitamin‐B needs of farm stock.
