Show Expanding Market Seen For Dog Food Market Some idea of the tremendously expanding market dog foods now represent for agricultural products prod-ucts can be seen from a recent report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The bulletin shows that over 50 million more cans of dog food were produced under their inspection in the first six months of this year than in the comparable period of 1948. While this report covers only the the first grade foods that meet U.S.D.A. specifications and are certified by them, the figures for one pound cans packed in the six month period still runs nearly 175 million. Since this grade of dog food is required to have not less than 30 per cent meat food content and to use only clean fresh grains, it represents a considerable market mar-ket for both the stock and grain grower. |
