[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 536352, member: 6897"] Chris at one time there was a company in NE Texas that specialized in mixing and processing chicken, litter, corn and dried bakery products at 16% crude protein to be fed to cattle. And no I did not say your feed mill was putting "illegal stuff" in your feed....I simply asked you if YOU knew what all was in it. As for what you can or can't do...you can feed dog food to a cow if she'll eat it and you're ignorant enough to do it. The feed store don't ask you what you're gonna feed when you buy dog food...the same for chicken feed. It will be labeled for the proper use but the purchaser can do whatever he wants with it. As for the poultry feeds that the majors are feeding I only said it would not be economically feasible to use animal protein products in their rations due to the high cost so the chance of your chicken litter containing any contaminants in that category would be almost nill. But yeah you might find a few dead chickens in the stuff....not suppose to be there but you just never know what will come slinging out of one of those manure slingers. [/QUOTE]
