Hi Group,
I overheard one of our more local strident activists, when asked about
AD for poultry comment that the by-product compost from poultry
digesters contained significant amounts of arsenic.
Can anyone comment on this or other known or potential anti-AD
Environmentalist issues.
I believe arsenic compounds are added to chicken feeds as growth
promoters and to combat certain parasites and thus end up in the
litter. I'm sure they've been banned in the European Union for years,
but in the US I think it's still allowed.
