     1        better eating quality than what other breeds will.  We have
     2        also, obviously, found out what has been known for years,
     3        that if one feeds too much fish meal, for example, to pigs
     4        you will get fish taint.  Also if you feed rape to pigs in
     5        excess you will get fish taint.  We are looking at all such
     6        things all the time.

     8   Q.   What about in terms of rearing, the different methods of
     9        rearing?
    10        A.  In what context?  I can give an example, yes, quite
    11        easily.  We compare outdoor reared pigs in comparison to
    12        the indoor reared pig.  Unfortunately, the outdoor reared
    13        pig actually eats a bit tougher.
    14
    15   Q.   Does it have a lower fat content?
    16        A.  What, the outdoor reared pig?
    17
    18   Q.   Yes.
    19        A.  No, he has more fat.
    20
    21   Q.   More fat?
    22        A.  Yes, that goes against what everyone thinks.
    23
    24   Q.   Is that more fat in a layer or is that within the meat,
    25        because there is fat within the muscle as well?
    26        A.  Yes, you have the out fat and you have the
    27        intramuscular fat.  The outdoor pig, we have had to
    28        introduce a breed to the outdoor pig to put some
    29        intramuscular fat in to him to try make him eat better.
    30
    31   Q.   So, when you say there was more fat in the outdoor pig,
    32        that was the outer layer then?
    33        A.  Yes.
    34
    35   Q.   The actually muscularly part had less fat?
    36        A.  It does not now, but it did originally.
    37
    38   MS. STEEL:   I am not sure whether I have got any more
    39        questions.
    40
    41   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Shall we have a five-minute break?
    42
    43   MS. STEEL:  There is another video I have got which I looked at
    44        last night, but if possible I would like to check it again
    45        before.
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  How long does it take to play.
    48
    49   MS. STEEL:  The part is 10 minutes long but I could go through
    50        on the fast review to do it quicker. 
    51 
    52   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  How do you want to set about doing that?  How 
    53        long is the whole video?
    54
    55   MS. STEEL:  The section on pigs is 10 minutes.
    56
    57   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  So you could get to that straightaway.
    58        Anyway, what are you suggesting we do now?
    59
    60   MS. STEEL:  I do not know if we could have a quarter of an hour
