GMO Corn Feed

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

hey,

 

I give the birds steamed rolled corn when cold to help them make 'heat' but I am going to eliminate and feed suet instead. I get pastured beef.pork from the old people down the road so I know what it's eaten.

In a riveting victory against genetically modified creations, a major biotech company known as Syngenta has been criminally charged for denying knowledge that its GM Bt corn actually kills livestock. What’s more is not only did the company deny this fact, but they did so in a civil court case that ended back in 2007. The charges were finally issued after a long legal struggle against the mega corp initiated by a German farmer named Gottfried Gloeckner whose dairy cattle died after eating the Bt toxin and coming down with a ‘mysterious’ illness.
 
Using the testimony of another farmer whose cows died after eating Syngenta product, Gloeckner and the team have charged the biotech giant for the death of over 65 cows, withholding knowledge of the death-link, and holding the corporation liable for not registering the cattle deaths.
 
The charges bring to light just how far large biotechnology companies will go to conceal evidence linking their genetically modified products to serious harm. Monsanto, for example, has even threatened to sue the entire state of Vermont if they attempt to label its genetically modified ingredients. Why are they so afraid of the consumer knowing what they are putting in their mouths?

Except popcorn, almost all corn and its products are GMO.

I mix my own feed and the only corn I'll use is organic certified non-gmo. 

 

May sound "obsessive" but that's one of the main reasons I have chickens - so that I can know the food I'm eating (eggs & meat) are not being fed gmo foods or soy.

hey,

 

I certainly don't think that is obsessive or over reacting. Here is some additional info worth reading

The list of scientific peer reviewed articles warning about GMO dangers to health and the biosphere are overwhelming yet scientific papers saying it's safe or increases yield/production/lower pesticide use are no where to be found. Yet the USDA has now given the biotechs a pass on even doing safety trials.

Thanks for the links.  When things settle down a little I'm going to read through them all.  (Probably next Thursday!) 

 

Again...this is why I want to raise my own animals or purchase from folks I know so I know what they've been fed!  Not interested in gmo, soy, or any other "feed" that is formulated from the leftover wastes from mfg. processes.
