I guess we already know what the fallout is as far as soybeans. They have always been a part of not just the poultry foods but other livestock as well as dog and cat foods. There are a lot of people with years of experience who have been breeding all kinds of things with no problem. If soybeans were such a problem we would have starved to death years ago or else been infertile. GMO is more recent but at least so far I am having no problems. Others are having no problems. If someone chooses not to eat or feed these things good for them. I am in the same boat as most. I have to buy and feed what is available. Ingredients for poultry feed don't vary tremendously from one part of the country to another. Most people most years have good results. If someone wants to blame modern rations for their own poor results then I say instead of continuing to badger us to death about soy and GMO get off your duff and try something different if you feel that strongly. Make yourself useful by reporting back about action instead of words. Other people make good suggestions about minor adjustments to modern rations. I speak from my own experience as someone who has no choice except to feed the same things everyone else does. I don't care either because a lot of different kinds of birds, cats, dogs and rabbits are all doing very well thank you. The myth of soy proteins replacing meat proteins is just that. A myth. Soy and corn have always been a big part of dog and poultry foods just because it was good business. Boost the protein percentage with the cheapest sources available. Some animal based stuff is no longer available but the point is that a lot of different foods have always been grain based. Cheaper and easier. Good business has some dog food being made without grains because there is a demand for that kind of food and people willing to shell out the bucks. Not happening with poultry food, probably because most of us have nothing to complain about.
