    Is soy bad for chickens?

    Something I just found out - many places online that sell corn soy free poultry use New Country Organic feed. When I researched the fishmeal it says they are catfish from south USA. When I read what farmed catfish are fed - it was corn and soy.

    corn/soy free poultry fed fishmeal

    because I want to learn/know about mercury content in chicken and turkey makes me a troll? It's an important issue to me. I'm not here for medical advice, I just want to know what is in my food and how poultry is raised and fed. I don't see what is wrong with that. What I see wrong is how...

    corn/soy free poultry fed fishmeal

    I was eating both chicken and turkey liver daily along with salmon for a source of iron from corn/soy free poultry fed fishmeal. I was anemic and couldn't digest red meat well and thought it was a mercury free, easily digestible source of iron. I also ate an egg daily from same farm. I am...

    corn/soy free poultry fed fishmeal

    Why be so rude about this? I am mostly pescatarian and have had mercury high enough to cause very unpleasant symptoms. Due to emergency abdominal surgery fish is the most digestible protein for me My mercury went almost to normal when I just ate sockeye and cut out the snow crab even though I...

    corn/soy free poultry fed fishmeal

    I was comparing it to ppb in tuna, not ppm since the study is done in ppb. canned tuna is not recommended more than 2x a week and canned tuna has 180 ppb. my concern was the eggs in the study showed a little less than half that, and the liver of chickens well over that. Somebody said it was...

    corn/soy free poultry fed fishmeal

    But isn't that research saying that there is roughly 70 ppb in a single egg? This is what I'm confused on.

    corn/soy free poultry fed fishmeal

    please look at this chart: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Average-mercury-concentrations-in-eggs-from-chickens-fed-herring-meal-containing_tbl1_18704127 Am I missing something? If a single can of tuna has average 185 ppb mercury isn't that a significant amount in the egg?

    What was the best chicken or turkey you ever ate?

    I am curious what the best chicken or turkey was that you ever ate. Where did it come from? What kind of diet did it eat? What kind of life it had? The best chicken I had was from White Oak Pastures when they were doing their own poultry program which they discontinued. It was the corn and...

    Healthiest Turkey you can buy?

    I'm not quite sure where to post this. I have a lot of digestion issues. I had a corn/soy free organic pasture raised heritage turkey from Nourish Coop last Thanksgiving. The fat/skin part of the bird tasted off but the meat was very good and it digested much better than chicken for me. I am...

    Check the omni fish mercury calculator. Crab is listed average of .1. Many of the mercury charts on the internet are old. Also check - https://dec.alaska.gov/eh/vet/fish-monitoring-program/fish-tissue-mercury

    corn/soy free poultry fed fishmeal

    As more people are looking for corn and soy free poultry I find that the majority of them are fed fish and crab meal. I have read it can pass into their yolks, and livers especially. Crab has a mercury level of .1 which is right up there with a can of tuna. Why does there not seem to be much...
