I am reading John Salatin's book, You Can Farm. ALthough I am enjoying the book, the author brought up something that just sounds too gross to be true.
According to him the FDA has said that it is all right to feed chicken manure to cows. If this is true no wonder people suffer from ecoli outbreaks.
All I can say is yuck.
I realize that factory farms were not good places for animals and is part of the reason why I want to raise my own chickens. But feeding cows chicken manure? That sounds insane.
PLease someone tell me that Salatin is mistaken.
