[QUOTE="Mid South Guy, post: 930347, member: 17328"] It has always been my understanding that feather meal, which is ground chicken feathers, will show an analysis that is relatively high in crude protien, but it is about 95% unavailable even to cattle & sheep, and for this reason it has to be specifically disclosed if used in a feed. Feather meal is used because it's cheap and will boost the protien analysis making the feed appear to be better than it really is. This allows the mfg. to make a product with a comparable analysis, but sell at a cheaper price than their competitors that use higher quality ingredients that actually work. [/QUOTE]
