[QUOTE="mobgrazer, post: 613939, member: 9043"] Depending on where I have looked I have found different reasons for them eating there placentas. Some of what I have found… nutrient imbalance, hormonal, bonding with offspring, help to keep wild animals away, bust of protean, can cause nitrate poisoning if over eaten, stimulate milk production… This was one of the things I looked up a bunch of years back when I started breading cattle. I go out and collect them when I tag the calves an hour or so after birth. It dose make me gag to watch them eat them but it’s just as bad to pick them up sometimes. There are a few coulters that eat sheep placentas. There have been a few lawsuits in the US about a hospital not giving the placenta back to the parents after they requested it. [/QUOTE]
