Yes, it is questioning the wisdom of the standard low-purine diet in the face of evidence that a high carbohydrate diet does more to increase uric acid than meat. Much like people were told over the last 30 years to cut their fat intake while eating more grains which has lead to the great...

It's not the protein...its the carbs http://www.healthandage.com/public/health-center/8/article-home/864/The-right-diet-for-gout-victims.html

The bottom line is that the feed companies have spent thousands of dollars in research to find the optimal nutritional mix for the specific bird. If it was okay to feed all animals one feed they would not mix the hundreds of veriations that they do. They know what will maximize productive life...

The comparison of people feeding vs totally free ranging is not the point. The actual debate and fair comparison is commercial feed vs natural feed. As for dry vs live...I got that. While it is convenient to focus on one...termites, it ignores the lizards, frogs, and "pinks", insect eggs, and...

"An earthworm's body is 72 percent protein" "When they die, earthworms which are 60 percent protein, add rich quantities of nitrogen to the soil." "They contain sixty to seventy percent protein and very little fat. Earthworms are entirely edible and, aside from the initial preparation, are very...

I have a bunch of rocky mountain finches that nest under my porch every year. They will keep laying and raising clutches of eggs as long as there is enough light per day for egg laying. They usually get 3 hatches per year. They mostly eat bugs and seeds which is lots of protein and lots of fat...

I think the issue is that the old way of feeding chickens is to feed them as cheap as possible since you would either be slaughtering them for meat fairly quickly, or hanging on to them for a couple of years while they are at egg laying peak before they are culled and a new batch is brought in...

In my lifetime I have owned 3 dogs and 8 cats. All free fed. One...ONE got fat. That was corrected with switching from a corn based feed to a high protein feed. My husband had a similar number of pets throughout the years. None were fat. I am not a math whiz, but I can tell that number is way...

Free feeding does not work with every dog or cat. And set meals are not necessary for many cats and dogs. I would even venture to say most. Not all, but with a biologically appropriate diet (as in don't feed them things they haven't evolved to eat....like corn, wheat, soy, etc..) - most.

have always used game bird grower (high protein) with my water fowl and chickens. Mixed with whole wheat and scratch. I read that this wasn't good. Sooo, I went to purina flock, (soy protein) alot lower protein, I lost some valuable ducks on this during the winter. I realise that the higher...

The animals then eat the same amount they did on their old lower density and lower quality feed Nope. Sorry. This hasn't happened with my animals or the animals of others that have switched their pets to a low carbohydrate food. I am sure there is some poor dog out there with something wrong...

This seems to work fine for chickens but only works for some dogs and cats. Some will just eat and eat and eat until they turn into fat blobs This is usually only a problem for dogs and cats when their are given the wrong kind of foods. They gorge themselves in an attempt to get the proper...
