When I was growing up, cows didn’t really have an appetite for other cows or for eating chicken parts. They wanted to eat grass. They were herbivores. Which makes me wonder why feeding cow blood and chicken wastes to cattle ever seemed like a good idea? No wonder the cows are getting mad.
This seems a little DUH-ish:
“Also banned is the use of composted “poultry litter” as a feed ingredient for cows. The litter consists of bedding, spilled feed, feathers and fecal matter swept from the floors of chicken coops. The ingredient that worries health officials is the spilled feed, because chicken feed can legally contain meat and bone meal rendered from beef.
Animals can no longer be fed “plate waste,” the agency said, meaning the meat and other scraps that diners leave on their plates in restaurants and that is rendered into the meat and bone meal added to feed.”
Let’s try to not make our animals into cannibals, shall we?
