[QUOTE="Stepper, post: 362068, member: 3398"] The newspaper Article stated that it was something that cattle farmers had done in the past 30 years during times of drought and hard winters. Past is the key word there. And the article did state that it was legal according to that newspaper. Which one thing you would know about the U.S. media they can and do turn a moe hill into a mountain. So that article holds very little salt with me. All that showed me was a farmer who like alot of other farmers here in the U.S. last summer was desprate in tring to find a way to hang onto his cattle. And as far as that study from the university goes. Well that is just it a study, experiment. I am sure in your country if you look into it there are universitys who done the same studys and figured out that you can feed manure to animals. Which that should not have been a big discovery. That has been going on for millions of years. :lol: I mean does a cow not eat the afterbirth after it has a calf ? :lol: What i am getting at it is not a common practice here to feed chicken litter to cattle. That is what i would like for you to show me. Where here in the U.S. is it a common practice to feed cattle chicken/turkey litter. And i dont mean the times that some farmer has feed it back when say we were in a historical drought like last summer ? And the three discussion that you brought up that was talked about in CT were not no more proof of anything than what you and i are talking about now. There was one guy who said he had been supplementing his cattle chicken litter during the drought. :lol: What i am talking about is a common farming practice that goes on everyday. Not something that is done out of desperation. (drought, harsh winter what ever) And even in the newspaper article the was checking into it to see if it was still legal to do or not. And it said it had been tabled with the FDA since 2002. So it is not common knowledge that it is a legal practice. And if you went arround here most farmers would tell you it is ilegal to feed it to cattle. :lol: And like Sir Loin told you if you are giving your chicken litter away and you have an unlimited supply or access to it. You are diffinately sitting on a gold mine. You could probably make way more off of it than cattle. ;-) If it was so harmful like you think it is why would row crop farmers use it on their feilds ? :lol: Thoes beans, wheat, whatever crop that chicken litter was used to fertlizer is using the same nutrients to grow thoes crops that will make it back in some way shape or form for human consumption. The same way it would by using it to fertlize grass for cattle. :lol: But yeah if you can find me a place here in the U.S. where they are doing that as a common everyday practice.
