چکیده
Commonwealth contributions to the British diet 77 coast, where irrigation is available. These will be the sites of piggeries, where the grain sorghum will be fed to outdoor pigs. It is intended that each unit shall carry some 200 breeding sows. The number of units which will finally be developed is dependent upon experience gained with the first experimental units and on the future trend in coarse grain prices. A third activity of the Corporation is the fattening of store cattle on the sorghum stover and grass of the unploughed areas of the large properties. It is impossible to give anything but rather vague estimates of the contribution which this scheme will make to the British diet, as the form in which our products will be exported to Britain will depend on future market movements. It is hoped that after 19j1 the Corporation will produce annually an average of some 80,000 tons of grain sorghum. If all this were fed to pigs in Queensland some 200,000 carcasses might be produced annually. It is possible, however, that the pig side of the venture may be developed a little less rapidly than the grain growing, in which case the surplus grain would be shipped to Britain for animal feeding. From this production 6000 tons were shipped home in 1949. Pig-feeding trials with this grain, made by Dr Braude at the National Institute for Research in Dairying, University of Reading, were entirely satisfactory. In addition to the grain or bacon exported, the Corporation will also be fattening off several thousand head of stock for export to Britain.
