[Blackbelly] Koi food

2015-08-12 Thread Rick Krach
I know that pig food cannot be given to sheep, but I wonder about Koi food.  
Someone has given me 50 lbs of Koi food which their fish will not eat.  Does 
anyone have any idea as to whether it'd be safe to give this to my sheep, 
chickens, pigs, whoever would eat it?  My question is because the package does 
say, Not for human consumption.  Thanks,

Rick,
I personally would not feed Koi food to my sheep.  Folks got into allot of 
trouble feeding ruminants animal parts in the past. It probably is illegal 
also.  Think of Mad Cow.
I would think it would be ok to feed to chickens, because they eat just about 
anything.   Also, the protein content would be pretty high I would imagine. I 
really do not think that fish  food would be plant based, but mostly animal or 
fish source. Just some rambling thoughts.
