Abstract
INTRODUCTIONTUNG oil meal is the residue remaining after the oil has been expressed from ground de-hulled tung fruit. The material used in this feeding experiment was solvent-extracted in a pilot plant at Picayune, Mississippi, and was obtained from the Tung Oil Laboratory of the Bureau of Agricultural Chemistry and Engineering, United States Department of Agriculture, Bogalusa, Louisiana.LITERATURE REVIEWLewkowitsch (1909) and Newell (1924) have reported the poisonous character of tung kernels and this is rather well known to the tung oil industry. Jamieson (1932) reported that tung press cake has strong purgative properties and is unsuitable for feeding stock.
