The Huron Expositor, 1970-02-26, Page 10The Poultry Tribune in a recent issue carries a story by Wayne Ellis, a nature of Sea- forth and son of Mrs, Elva Ellis of town. ' In it he tells how the company of which he is poultry public relations manager played a part in sending eggs to the Moon. Mr. Ellis expects to leave for Spain later this spring where he will represent DelCalb Agresearch Inc. When Ap011o 10 astronauts Conrad, Bean, and Gordon lifted off the pad at Cape Kennedy last November, they were carrying enough scrambled eggs to keep them supplied with a hearty breakfast for each day of their entire flight. The' freeze-dried scrambled egg product, used by the astron- auts was provided by Freeze Dry Products, Inc:, Evansville, Ind. The menus and feeding system came from Whirlpool Corp., which has had the moon program life support systems contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ever since it was fornied. The freeze-dried scrambled egg product can be reconstituted with hot water into a delicious egg breakfast. It is -almost impossible to tell by taste or appearance that the eggs were not broken out and scrambled just before-being served. '' The secret of the delectable taste lies in the ingredients that are mixed with the eggs before drying - and-the ingredients are secret, according to the man- ufacturer: The development of the prod- uct was started three years ago by William Fleig, president, Freeze Dry Products; Dr. Ray Wise, technical chief; and Leon Mink .(now• retired) at the re- quest of the food service direc- tor, Purdue University. Much of the product evaluation study in- volved in the process was done at Purdue University. The eggs are produced on the WAYNE ELLIS farm of Berry Best Egg Co., Inc., Rockport, Ind. This com- pany is managed by Dick Berry and has 41 laying houses con- taining 205,000 DeKalb laying hens. Quality control begins from the time the eggs are laid. Only Grade A eggs are used in the manufacture of the product. The eggs are delivered from the Berry Beat farm to its egg packing plant where they are graded, broken out, and scram- bled. Special ingredients suR,-- plied by Freeze Dry Products are mixed in at this point. Approxi- mately.1,800 pounds are cooked at one time. After cooking, the eggs are cooled and trucked to the Evansville plant. Here they are freeze-dried and packed in cahs, Testing procedures for Corn Stover Silage Is Economical 'Ration 1 News of Constance Correspondent &Tits MarylVIcIlwadn Bill Whyte returned home on Thursday from Clinton Public Hospital where he was a liatient for the past week.

An Expositor Classified will pay you dividends. Have you tried bile? Dial-527-0240. in Moon flavor, texture, and• appearance are conducted on each batch of finished product by a taste- panel which includes the president of Freeze Dry Products. At 10 a.m. each day, a new sample is. re- constituted and the panel goes to work. A check sheet is filled out by the critical tasters and if they are not entirely satisfied with the egg, the problem can be quickly traced and corrected. Each batch also must pass rigid bacteriological tests before being approved for human consumption. Our plate tests run well below the accepted level," comments Fleig. "but we must be very critical to be sure there is no bacterial contamination. For the Apollo mission, we had to be particrilarly exacting in our test- - ing procedures." Although freeze-dried eggs are a relatively new product, the market is rapidly expanding, mainly for institutional use.i ,The mass-feeding industry is our primary customer due to the obvious built-in labor saving fac- tor," says Ffeig. Costs are going to be an im- portant factor in the success of this exciting new product and they are determined somewhat by freight rates. For example, in Chicago, freeze-dried eggs' will cost about 10 cents per serving. The consumer market has not yet been tested by Freeze Dry Products, but it is possible housewives will see freeze-dried eggs 1t1,food stores within three years. "We certainly hope that someday our freeze-dried eggs will be sold in supermarkets'. There is no storage problem and the shelf life is extremely high. At room temperature,' the eggs can be held for more than- one year. , provided they remain in sealed containers. The fact that they don't have to be refrigerat- ed is a big 'advantage," Fleig .says.

If beef eows can be, ecOnorni- ,cally confined and fed a low-cost ration such as-corn stover silage, Ontario could supply a greater percentage of. its own require- ments for calveS to go into the feedlot. This is the opinion of Fred Schuld, Livestock Ridgetown College. 'of Agricul4 tural Technology, who say that information is needed on the cost of harvesting and storing this feed, as well as on the value of the feed in beef cow rations. He notes that the performance of beef cows in a confinement sys- tem throughout. their productive life must also be examined. Previous short-term trials at Ridgetown have indicated that corn stover silage as the only roughage could support dry beef cows over winter, thus reducing ration costs considerably. Long- term effects arid effects of feeding , corn stover silage the year round have not been. examined. Re- search on the 'problem of har- vesting and storing corn stover silage is continuing. . Mr. schuld reports that the trial presently under way is a long-term trial with two groups of beef cows. One group is re- ceiving a ration. consisting of hay for the dry period, and hay sup- plemented with grain during the nursing period. The second group ks receiving corn stover silage supplemented with protein for the, Getting Eggs on the it S
