Nope...I found the same regulations. Nor do I believe that they are adhered to by everyone who deals in these byproducts on a profit basis~in bold or not. Hey, I'm not the one that filmed, on live TV, this swollen long dead cow being eaten by the mechanical jaws of a machine in a rendering...

Quote: Then those rendering guys were just lying? They mentioned it several times in the episode and at the very end Mike Rowe held up a handful of the rendered animal byproduct and said it had been recycled into chicken feed. Someone needs to contact that processing plant and Dirty Jobs...

Just watched a rerun of Dirty Jobs....an episode about rendering plants. The dead cows~dead from supposedly natural causes(who verifies this, I wonder?)~are lowered head first (brains intact ) into a grinder and ground down into...you guessed it, hog and chicken feed! In the film it showed...

Can you imagine us doing the same to whatever their profession is? Wouldn't go over well with them either I imagine. Okay! I'm a nurse....slam away! I will agree with you on every point about the bad and nasty things wrong with the medical profession and the whole health care system. I...

Quote: This is a blatent falsehood that feeds the fears of people who don't have any idea how cattle in feedlots are treated and fed. They ARE NOT fed antibiotics on a daily basis. The following is a link to an article written by Ryan Andrews who I understand is a vegetarian or vegan, I'm...

Quote: You really must rent Food, Inc. and watch it...you will learn so much. Actually, the type of antibiotics they use are very cheap compared to the profit they make by getting a steer to finish weight~simple penicillins. They feed these drugs to prevent illness caused by the high corn...

Quote: Look at it this way, if a animal is "feed" (injected) a preventative antibiotics each day wouldn't that be wasting money in the farmers part and taking away from his profit? Wouldn't you think that the animal would grow a immunity to the antibiotics to where the antibiotics would no...

WW, I think she is just trying to avoid obvious sources of contamination....as do I. If you KNOW that the animal by-products aren't just bugs, worms or even your own chicken's offal from processing but are from someone else's possibly diseased animals, why wouldn't you take that extra step to...

Antibiotics do have a half life, that is true. But, since these animals are fed these preventative antibiotics~as in feed lot feeding~each day, they don't really have time to leave the system properly. Yes, they do feed chicken feathers as the animal by-product. These chicken feathers are...

My local feed mill uses animal byproducts~which usually means ground up chicken feathers~in their feeds, so I don't buy from them. When I have to buy from them, I usually just get bags of whole grains and mix my own feeds and provide a bag of oyster shell for the added calcium. Usually I can...
