[QUOTE="haybalin fool, post: 65839, member: 1213"] Mike, Having worked for a poultry integrator as a field representative, there are feed spills. You are correct about the prions, it was my error leaving out the portion on prions and BSE. But with the coming legislature and and FDA ruling, feeding litter will not be an option no matter the price.
