THe sugar is the food for the good bacteria. THat's why I tried the fruit juice. APple juice concentrate or molaases is . . .full of sugars!!

Molasses also has lots of minute amts of minerals .. . .

Plenty of micro-nutrients in Black Strap but not so much sugar.

I noticed in Southeast Asia that they were rabbit farming with Mulberry leaves and molasses blocks. And getting similar results to commercial pellets. Made me wonder where I could get molasses blocks from. I would not have any trouble with Mulberry leaves.

Quote: I tasted black strap and the bitterness was memorable-- certainly not "grandma;s molasses" lol , but I'm pretty sure it still has some sugar. As I remember black strap is the left overs after all the good sugar has been removed as much as possible.

Calorie King lists blackstrap as having 12.2 g sugar per tablespoon; regular molasses listed as 14 g carbs and 11 g as sugar. Based on the blackstrap I have tasted( sourced from my mill) sweet it is NOT. I'm not conviced this source is correct.

If one reads the process of making cane sugar, that information would seem inaccurate.

Quote: yup.

I do think blackstrap has some sugars, just not the concentration of brown sugar, or good molasses.

Really disappointed I couldn't find accurate info easily.

What is BSF? What is it used for?
Thanks,

I've read that some folks set up a small colony in the coop so that as the larva drop out the hens can snap them up. Kinda cool if working on a small scale.

I don't do flyie, crawlie things for the birds. Sorry. They get crumble, greens, and seeds. Crisp, clean and fresh.
I also keep meat bones and hang them up for them to clean off. I was meaning to ask tho. I have this processed
ham loaf. It is one of those chopped pressed molded hams? Anyway, it is too salty for me, even if I braise a slice in
7-UP. So I was wondering, does anyone know how I could cook it so the birds might like it? I thought maybe a slice
for them to peck at?
Thanks,
Karen
More power to ya'll with feeding little gooey ghoulies to your birds.
