[QUOTE="Farminlund, post: 66743, member: 1132"] In July, the FDA published in the “Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 134 / Wednesday, July 14, 2004 / Proposed Rules” the following: In short, no ruminant remains to be included in any animal feed. Later in the document it asks: The document also addresses the butchering process & it seems those recommendations have already gone into effect, as I took in a lame heifer this week & was cautioned that it must get to the kill cage under it’s own power, in addition, I was required to providing documentation that the age of the animal was less than 30 months (otherwise special processing was warranted & increased cost to the customer). I do not know definitively if the use of processed ruminants in chicken feed has been abolished, but given the fact that the butchering recommendations have been adopted, I would assume so. Also, my broker was working with chicken companies to eliminate it from their feed to insure the use of liter as a cattle food source into the future, primarily from environmental concerns (disposal issues of large quantities of litter).
