Landwirthschaftsgesellschaft Nachrichten von Verbesserung der Landwirthschaft und des Gewerbes, volume 1, Zelle: George Conrad Gsellius, page 267:Hauptsächlich wird zu dieser vortheilhaften Schweinezucht erfordert, daß man den Winter hindurch hinlänglichen Sey (Träbern) vom Brauwesen oder Brandteweinswäsche, wie auch Rocken oder Buchweizenkaff habe. Letzterer ist der beste, für die Schweine; dagegen der Kaff von Weizen, Gersten und Haber zuträglicher für das Hornvieh bleibet.- For this pig farming it is mainly necessary that one has enough draff from brewing or brandy washing as also rye or buckwheat chaff. The last is the best for the swine; whereas the chaff of wheat, barley, and oats stays better for the horned cattle.
