unusual feed
« on: July 12, 2009, 11:59:18 am »
im just watching rural tv and i was interested to hear that in california they often use left over orange and citrus peel as a high energy cattle feed!
the only drawback is that it is low in protein.
makes you wonder if the meat tastes different as a result?

do you know of any other unusual feed/feeding practises?

A large 1000 cow herd of cows near me gets lorry loads of biscuits and confectionary which have failed quality control. A rumour one load was mars bars- don't know how if they had paper on !

that kind of makes a mockery of the rule NO cooked foods to be fed to livestock....

Cirus pulp is a standard ingredient in animal feed and blends, nothing unusual about it.
