ReplyDeleteI thought I knew a lot about pigs because my uncle owns a pig farm, but I learnt a lot more about pigs in class today. The most interesting part was that their fat can be used for bio-fuel. I was not sure what "bio-fuel" meant so I went up on the Internet to get information.
ReplyDeleteBio-fuel is gas or liquid fuel made from plant material (biomass). It includes wood, wood waste, wood liquors, peat, railroad ties, wood sludge, spent sulfite liquors, agricultural waste, straw, tires, fish oils, tall oil, sludge waste, waste alcohol, municipal solid waste, landfill gases and other wastes.
I think it is a good thing that we can now use pig fat to make fuel it may be good for the environment.
Yes, Leroy that was really interesting, maybe your uncle could go into bio-fuel production?
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting that information about bio-fuel, I was not too sure what it was although I figured it must have something to do with fuel, since it was part of the word.
But what I want to comment on is the taste buds of pigs. Pigs have 15,000 taste buds. That is a lot. I was wondering if maybe that is why they eat so many different kinds of things, even the nasty ones like rotten meat and their excreta. I looked up for the meaning of that word; it is what my little brother does in his diaper.
After reading the story about pigs I'm not too sure how much of it I will be eating again.
