Excerpt from The Journal of Hygiene, Vol. 17
Experiment 2. Twelve fowls of the same breed and approximately the same Size and age were divided into three groups. An endeavour was made to feed the first group 100 grams Of rice daily, the second group 50 grams Of rice daily, and the third group 25 grams Of rice daily. Polished rice was used and the birds were hand fed. However it was very soon found that it was impracticable to feed the fowls in Group 1 as much as 100 grams of rice daily. After a few days of such feeding they were unable to digest this amount of rice with sufficient rapidity, and the rice accumulated in their crops. If feeding was then continued, after a few days more their crops became so distended with rice that the introduction of more rice became impossible without killing the bird. By the pressure developed by the swelling rice. As soon as it was found that the proposed amounts of rice could not be fed without mechanically killing the birds, the amount actually administered was weighed, and the actual amounts of rice so fed are indicated in Table II in comparison with the amounts originally proposed.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the consequences of improper or contaminated food preparation, primarily arising from diseases carried by the Gaertner group of bacilli. Using evidence from extensive research, the author questions the assumption that these bacteria are commonly found in animals used for food. In doing so, the book challenges many previous findings and theories on the subject. While the author notes that outbreaks of food poisoning linked to Gaertner-related bacteria are on the rise, there's a gap in understanding their fundamental origins. The book delves into relevant animal diseases, including swine fever, calf ailments, and broader septicaemic conditions in livestock, exploring the likelihood of the presence of Gaertner group bacilli within these diseases. The author also explores the presence of these bacteria in conditions like enteritis of cows, noting exceptional outbreaks wherein contamination caused significant illness and high mortality among both calves and adult cows. Ultimately, the book underscores the vital need for deeper study into these bacterial infections and their wide-reaching implications for global food safety and public health.
