Champion Protein Converters Train on CH3SH

With methionine, turkeys get even more effi- cient in converting vegetable protein into ani- mal protein.

Synthesized from methyl mercaptan, methi- onine works wonders as a poultry-feed supplement. It also fortifies single-cell protein, which has significant nutritional value.

The sulfur radical has a way of doing the unusual. We recognized its versatility many years ago. Then, when the demand for methionine and for other agrochemicals developed, we were ready with the mercaptan capacity. 

As the world’s largest producer, Pennwalt now offers the widest variety of alkyl mercaptans from plants in the United States and Europe. And we’re dedicated to continuing expansion in production and technical competence. 

We can talk about mercaptans with you anywhere. Contact any of the locations listed below. Or write for our literature. Indchem Division. Pennwalt Corporation. Three Parkway, Phila…Pa. 19102

[additional notes]

This ad is for a poultry-feed supplement. This reminded me of a discussion held during lecture in which we described that with the rise of modern agriculture and new animal raising practices, additives are not only being added in the processing of foods but also while it is grown and raised. Two examples we discussed in class included pesticides for agriculture and supplements for livestock.
