Just read an article in Small Farm Magazine regarding the use of pressure treated wood in feeders. It said that raw milk in 2 BC dairy farms had evated levels of dioxins which were traced back to pressure treated feed bunkers.

The article recomends never using pressure treated wood for any kind of feed containers. I've never myself used anything other than metal hanging feeders myself but I though I would pass this on to other livestock keepers.
Thank you for your time
