I'm Sending Feed to be Analyzed

[Joel Just Joel]

Did he post the actual results? Sorry, don't have time to follow the link.

Okay, I just went through the video. With all due respect, he doesn't seem to be an expert on chicken feed chemistry (disclaimer: neither am I). I think this is a bust unless someone else can interpret the data.
He used 2 different test labs. This is a summary of the first lab’s results.
Fat: 3.4% (bag tag: > 2.5%)
Protein: 16.25% (bag tag: 16%)
Fiber 6.9% (tag: <8%)
Pesticides: some <0.1 ppm and some <0.5 ppm
Calcium: results delayed until next week
He was “expecting the protein results to be low but they weren’t.”
Lab results showed content but not reference range like you’d see on a medical test.
He seemed to have no idea whether these numbers are good or bad. I don’t know, either. Anyone else out there know what’s a normal range for these? See also blurry screen captures, attached. This is not all of his test results, but a good representative sample.
At end of video, “Could we do more testing? Sure. But I’m done investing my money on this deal. Next testing – amino acids and antibiotics – would cost another $600. If you guys want to continue testing, send $600 to my Venmo account [on the screen] and I’ll send out my feed for more testing... I don’t know if this feed is good or bad… I don’t know, maybe there is an antibiotic in there that’s causing chickens not to lay eggs… I do know that my chickens were not laying eggs, I switched food, and they are laying now. If you don’t like a certain product, don’t buy it.”

THANK YOU for this! Now I've got something to compare my results to once they come in.

That said, these are more tests than I could afford. But VERY appreciated!

At end of video, paraphrasing, “Could we do more testing? Sure. But I’m done investing my money on this deal. Next testing – amino acids and antibiotics – would cost another $600.

I think that just says that the tests showed that the ingredients of the feed matched what the tag said they would be. Which is good and what we should all expect.
I am a bit surprised that the bag tag only gave a minimum number not also a maximum, but the result is in line with what I have seen on other feed bag tags.
I don't know enough about the pesticide expectation to know whether those are concerning levels - I suspect not but don't know.

Who is the ‘they’ in your opening sentence? Is it vegetarians?

Sorry, Not vegetarians, Gretta Thornburg, World Economic Forum (WEF), New World Order (NWO), John Kerry, Al Gore, the UN Thedros, all these people pushing Climate Change. Getting rid of Fossil Fuel, natural gas and our cook stoves. My town announced earlier this week, No More Gas Stoves by 2025. Seems we are all following Gavin Nesume in California. How are we all going to be dependent on electricity for heating, cooking and travel? Are we building any new power Plants? Are we improving transmission lines to carry the load? Is solar and wind going to solve the demand problem. Are they telling people in California not to charge their cars? Are people driving around with a power generator in the back seat to charge their cars? These are some rumors I hear over and over. But I can't go to CA and ask people. One fellow I listen to lives in Selma, CA, Professor, Historian Lecturer, Writer Farmer, Victor Davis Hanson, says he is getting a diesel truck, electric car and a gas car so he always has a way to travel if needed.

Here it is, folks, the 2025 California Cadillac!

Gas stoves aren't banned here. The govt is ending the installation of gas water heaters in new homes by 2030. And folks are able to charge their cars. The law says that new passenger cars/light trucks sold in CA will be electric starting in 2035. Lots of cities here have already implemented these rules, and it hasn't really affected anything yet. What will happen once we get closer to those deadlines might be a different matter, of course. But for now, it's not been as bad a problem as most feared. We won't have to get rid of our gas stoves or gas cars. They will just gradually be replaced with electric as they wear out over time. Our state definitely needs better infrastructure, though. If we were to all have to suddenly switch, it'd be a complete disaster. We will see...

Am I thrilled about it? No. But nothing has really changed, and I'm down for an electric passenger car. My son has one, and I kinda wish I had one, too. I was planning on getting electric for my next purchase, anyway. I still have my gas stove, gas generator, and gas power tools.

If you've ever been in So Cal or the Central Valley in summer and SEEN and TASTED the air pollution, you might be a little more open to suggestion, maybe.

My suggestion, which you should feel free to ignore @Aunt Angus ...

Post them, @ me, lock the thread . Its a feed question, people will ask me anyways.

I'll repost in a fresh thread, link to the original posted results, and field questions as I am able.

That sounds good to me, Stormcrow. I will do that.

I'll field this.

Starting a new thread. Will take me a few minutes. This is from the self appointed "Health Rangfer", Mike Adams, right?

No, some farmer. The "health ranger" hasn't shared his results yet.
