07/10/2013: Chicken feed impacts on taste; silo featured in new transformers movie

Chickens on a poultry farm in Pennsylvania, USA have been fed scraps from some of the Cities most prestigious restaurants as part of an experiment to evaluate the impact different feed has on taste.

In 2004, USDA scientists fed chickens soybeans plus either corn, wheat or sorghum, then boiled the meat in plastic bags and fed it to nine blindfolded taste-testers. The testers reported that corn-fed chickens tasted more strongly of meat broth and were less chewy than the wheat- or sorghum-fed birds.

The abandoned grain silos on South Damen Avenue and West 29th Street in Pilsen, Chicago, USA will appear in Michael Bay's 4th Transformer's installment - "Age of Extinction" due to be released next year.

In the upcoming film, the silos will be blown up. Bay's and his crew wrapped filming in Chicago last week, finishing with what one production source called the “mother of all bombs.”

Dr. Hussein Soliman, director of the U.S. Grains Council's Egypt office, retired from the Council effective Sept. 30. He served as a highly successful director in Egypt since 1990 and as associate regional director from 1988 to 1990.
Soliman worked tirelessly on behalf of the Council and its members, while also helping modernize Egypt's livestock and poultry production and supporting the development of aquaculture. Until the recent flood of Black Sea production, compounded by political upheaval in the country, Soliman's efforts and implementation of Council programs established Egypt as a consistent top importer of U.S. feed grains.
