Yury, You remind me that knowledge like this has probably been lost in many communities where civil wars, drought and other disasters have disrupted passing knowledge from one generation to another. We must document and apply these uses of charcoal where appropriate.
Many thanks.

Animals and birds in cages have little movement. The digestive system is working satisfactorily. Charcoal absorbs the gas in the stomach. Poultry or pig cease to feel the pressure of gases. They eat more. They gain weight faster. They get sick less. It has been known in the Soviet Union. Many businesses were added to the coal feed. Russian women in the villages make charcoal chickens and pigs and now. There were papers on the subject. This tradition has been lost in modern Russia at the state level, but is known to peasants. Thanks, Yury Yudkevich.
