520 _aIt is the primary purpose of this report to draw attention, at the decision-making level, to a little-known and neglected field of massive opportunity - foliage utilization. Foliage derivatives can be used in a wide range of products utilized in animal feeds, cosmetics, medicine, and veterinary practice. Of greates immediate interest is the conversion of foliage to muka, used as a vitamin supplement in animal feeds. Of greatest importance on a global basis is the fact that every ton of foliage used in animal feeds can release one ton of grain to increase world food stocks. Foliage can be converted to muka in a few simple processing steps, at costs which should be competitive with alternative animal feed supplements. The potential value of muka manufactured in Canada could be in the hundreds of millions of dollars per year, and the addition to world food stocks in the millions of tons per year. In the case of muka manufacture an use, the problem is primarily one os assessment, recognition of opportunity, and application of developed technologies.
