Dioxin feed pigs to be killed
Germany: Lower Saxony’s agriculture minister says that hundreds of pigs must be killed on a farm in the state because their meat contains high levels of dioxin.
Gert Hahne said that the high levels of dioxin were found early today at a farm in the county of Verden.
The farm was being examined because it had bought livestock feed from the German firm Harles & Jentzsch GmbH, which had produced fat used in tainted feed pellets. The fat contained more than 70 times the approved amount of the chemical.
