what feed do you like and dislike

[Shroppy]

I am totally shocked and really do appreciate the illumination. Yikes! I admit I fell for this report when it first surfaced.

To follow up, perhaps you would be willing to provide insight into the truth that GM crops containing Bt toxin may cause toxic effects to multiple organ systems, allergic reactions and/or sensitize humans - and thence animals - to other food substances?

Just bought my first bags of Kalmbach 17 hi-omega, hi-D.... looks and smells good to me, no dust. Had poor experience w/ Dumor brand, hens did not eat it well, even tho it is supposedly made by Purina to replicate Layena for TSC, my hens prefer the Layena. I can get the Kalmbach for less than the Layena and I like the fact that Kalmbach is locally milled, so hopefully fresher. Here's hoping the hens like it.

Human penicillin (antibiotic) is made from Penicillium chrysogenum
Other species of Penicillium are used in cheesemaking, etc.

The species Penicillium funiculosum is used in chicken feed to help break down the cellulose in plant fiber, making the chicken feed more edible.

I'm trying to learn so my question is:

One of the ingredients in the organic food is Penicillum funiculosum fermentation product.

Isn't Penicillum a type of antibiotic? If it is then wouldn't that be bad to feeding your chickens very day? Or can it be compared to making penicillin from mold? That the base for the antibiotic is in the mold but doesn't become an antibiotic until you take the mold and modify it. Sorry if I'm not making sense just trying to wrap my brain around the info.

When I google searched it I came up with a lot of articles like this onehttp://www.researchgate.net/publica...mination_synthesis_and_antibacterial_activity

They use the enzymes created by the Penicillin Funiculosum to ferment the feed to make it more digestible, the end product contains no antibiotic properties...
