[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 536334, member: 6897"] Chris...can you guarantee what most ingredients are in feed?? Plant protein, grain by-products, roughage products....animal protein products...they all cover hundreds of ingredients. Do you know what d-activated animal sterol is?? 99% of feeds have it but it may not be disclosed. But...knowing that all the huge poultry producers furnish both chicks and the feed for them to chicken farms who contract with them I know they will feed them as cheaply as possible to get them to slaughter weight and will make as much from chicken by-products as they will the processed chicken. Ever butchered a $10,000 heifer? I doubt it...too expensive for home consumption so you sell her. Same with most animal protein products. Pilgrims Pride just announced a huge loss this past quarter...Tyson a loss but not as much.....Gotta hold feed cost down...Animal protein won't do that. The feed will be little more than corn, soybean meal, vitamins, and minerals and periodically a wormer. I'd be more afraid of what I would get from simply eating chicken than of feeding liter to the cattle. Sometimes you have to take a little risk in live....remember..the turtle couldn't cross the road til he stuck his neck out. ;-) [/QUOTE]
