Sigh. This is not because the USDF mandated it or insisted on it. Have you even done a little bit of research before posting what you "read somewhere?" The reason that chicken manure is being added to the feed is because the regulations on rendered animal remains as feeds were tightened, banning certain things that were being fed, and at the same time the ban on chicken manure in feed was lifted. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
