[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 536935, member: 6797"] Every few months someone asks this question. And the same people all come up with the same replies. In the end no one can or will stop you. Yet. Eating even one bite of chicken schitzen in many countries immediately takes that cow and makes it unsuitable for human consumption. Being caught allowing a cow even one bite of chicken schitzen - accidental or not - in many countries - will cause you a great deal of legal grief. Ever wonder why? Perhaps you did not know. But you do now. Be that as it may, allowing a cow to do this - is quite legal in the U.S. of A. - for the moment. Cattle in the U.S. of A. are routinely fed chicken and turkey schitzen - with all of the by-products included. Composting chicken schiten does not kill the bad stuff that causes certain diseases. Those diseases can often take several years to become noticeable. Hence the "it has never hurt us" talk. I can assure you that no one will import this beef if it is discovered. In fact I cannot think of even one country that will accept cattle or beef if schitzen has been a feed product. However, there are many people in the U.S. of A. that eat this beef. Usually unknowingly. Tell them about this and [u]watch their faces[/u]. It might actually drive them away from the product. Just because it has been done in the past does not mean the old hands or Gramps are right in their advice. It is a fine fertilizer when placed on fields that will be worked and planted to crop. I am no longer a user so I cannot speak to the follow on risks - if any....... Cattle will ingest this if spread in pastures. But certainly I would not use it for cattle or pastures. Just my opinion of course. After all, we went through several years of He!! attempting to survive due to BSE and international bad press - I pray you never have to experience this - so take the chance if you want - after all it is still legal to use and is still a common feed and a common fertilizer. As for me I run from the stuff - just not worth it. Chicken schitzen can be had all over my part of the world for the price of hauling it. No one with cattle will go any where near it. And I can assure you that any folks who buy our beef would not want to eat it if they knew the cattle had been fed schitzen. Life in Tyre is "warm" right now - Beruit is even warmer - so I am "staying in the shade" at present. :D Take care all. Bez+ [/QUOTE]
