Abstract

Experiments in which fresh waste feathers were treated by steam-pressure cooking and drying have yielded a friable, easily handled, stable meal. Analytical and cost studies, along with a limited commercial processing trial, indicate that the product is commercially feasible as a component of mixed fertilizers. Other uses--as a plaster retarder or as fire-control foam agent--have appeared possible in preliminary investigations. Information on the process, the product, and probable cost of manufacture is included in this report.
