“In areas of the United States where large cattle and poultry operations coexist, poultry litter is routinely fed to cows. Poultry litter consists primarily of manure, feathers, spilled feed and bedding material that accumulate on the floors of the buildings that house chickens and turkeys.” source: FilthyFeed.org
A new website explains farm animal feed:
“Back in the 1960s, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – the federal agency responsible for protecting the public health – banned the use of poultry litter as cattle feed. In 1980, however, the FDA lifted the ban”
“The disease-causing bacteria and other toxic substances present in the litter are dangerous to cows.”
“Unfortunately, no amount of processing will remove infectious proteins that are responsible for Mad Cow Disease.”
