[QUOTE="Bluestem, post: 593542, member: 3269"] Texas Tech is also researching the use of kelp. I do not know if the research has been published yet. Here is a quote- Seaweed Proven to Lower E-Coli in Beef Seaweed fed to cattle has been found to reduce the deadly E-coli bacteria in beef by 300%. New studies have been undertaken at the Texas Tech University by Dr. V. Allen that shows that the seaweed called ascophyllum nodosum, or rockweed, to reduce the instance of E-coli bacteria by 300% when fed to the animals 14 days prior to slaughtering and processing. Trials in the laboratory, experimental feedlot and a large commercial feedlot have all proven conclusive. In recent years thousands of people are getting sick from eating uncooked or not sufficiently cooked beef. It has become a major concern to the beef industry. The numbers grow more each year. The cause is the bacteria E-coli which is found in the intestines of cattle and other animals. This bacteria can contaminate the beef during processing. Although research is ongoing into the matter, the evidence so far is very good that seaweed meal is a natural and cheap method to help the fight against this deadly bacteria in beef. [/QUOTE]
