Fertility sacks

Slit-film also finds its way into many other applications. These include twine, woven fabrics for feed and fertilizer sacks, sand bags and bulk container bags, tarpaulins, mats, screens for erosion prevention, and geotextiles to stabilize soil beds. Fibrillated slit-film is used as a face yarn in outdoor carpets and mats. 

These analyses led to the NPK numbers of fertilizer sacks, and represent a tribute to Liebig s practical nature. Liebig also developed baking powder, with the understanding that if soldiers had baking powder, clean water, and flour, they could beUce their own bread and have no need for yeast, which generates carbon dioxide much more slowly (2).

Chick edema disease became a serious economic problem by the mid-1950s, by which time millions of broilers had succumbed to it in the U.S. The problem was traced to toxic components in the unsaponifiable fraction of certain low cost feed fats Introduced into the chick diet to increase the caloric intake (ref. 121c). Symptoms included fluid in the heart sack and abdominal cavity, subcutaneous edema and liver necrosis. Injection of purified chick edema factor into fertile eggs resulted in lower hatch yield, embryonic deformities and edema. Unhatched embryos exhibited a variety of defects (malformed beaks, leg deformities, no development of the right mesencephalon, and eye defects). Hatched embryos were growth-retarded, with sparse and defective feathers. The isolated toxin was ultimately identified as 1.2,3,7.8,9-...
