Since the 1940's and the development of the pharmaceutical antibiotic industry, Pfau Peacock Brand Lard Oils have been used in fermentation and bioconversion processes. Our products have found applications for both human and animal antibiotics, enzymes and nucleic acids.

In the manufacture of antibiotics, the fermentation process has sometimes been referred to as "witches brew". Fermentation utilizes many products which serve as nutrients in the antibiotic growing process. Pfau Peacock Brand Lard Oils are a key component and are used as a carbon source nutrient and anti-foam agent in these antibiotic processes. The Pfau quality program assures pharmaceutical users of a consistent, high-quality oil with exact specifications being met time after time. Pfau Peacock Brand Lard Oil assures one of the most consistent oils from one production batch to the next.
