Another livestock story!
throw out the yukkuri in the sea Astron ability had many weakness they cannot survive the sea or water metal will become corrosion rusty metal.
Taking from bits and pieces of the fanon universe:
Depending on the type and quality of metal, it can be useful to "mine" yukkuris instead. Smelt the astron'd yukkuris and make them into useful products.
Or maybe have the factory condition the astron'd yukkuri, make them into different types of metal. For example, a mutatnt yukkuri that can astron into a solid hunk of gold or platinium would be worth a fortune.

But still, how the heck do they keep the Yukkuris from reverting back to their bean paste form?
depends on your definition. In some stories astron is irreversible. If its reversible then it's obviously a terrible idea to make goods out of yukkuris...
After reading the summary of the Anko, available on the wiki here, it seems even Astron is now being used to 'enhance' the suffereing of yukkuri. Truly, to be a yukkuri is suffering. (not like most of the little bastards don't deserve it, though XP)
