Bone fractures may be linked to dietary mineral levels

By Bernie Peet November 15, 2012

The incidence of hog carcass contamination and trimming related to spine fractures is increasing at Olymel’s Red Deer processing plant and possibly at other plants, according to Eduardo Beltranena, monogastrics research scientist with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development. While the incidence is not widespread, for some farms this problem is up to six times more

China GMO Corn Hits Policy Deadlock

By Niu Shuping March 24, 2011

China’s first strain of genetically modified corn is facing policy deadlock and may take years before it can be planted, a Chinese researcher said on March 7. China gave the phytase corn safety approval in late 2009, and at the time scientists said they expected large-scale production could happen as early as 2012. The GMO
