Re: pigs eating manure

The feeding of spinal and brain tissue, which is where the prions that

cause BSE reside, is what is being blamed on Mad Cow, not manure. And

even that is a shaky belief, because they have tried deliberately

feeding cattle infected tissue and have not been able to infect that

way. Look up Mark Purdey and his ideas on how BSE is caused by

organophosphates. I believe he has 3 articles on the WAPF site.

I don't see the big deal in letting pigs eat manure. Pigs are the

garbage disposals of the barnyard and if they like eating manure and

have been eating it for centuries, then I have no problem with it.

Even my chickens will eat the actual manure, not just the grains from

it. This isn't some horrifying practice like forcing herbivores to eat

meat, this is a pig eating what it likes.

I'm talking livestock, not dogs and cats that eat chicken, beef, fish,

etc.

Yes, what Mark Purdey discovered was a link between pour on

insecticides and the prion mutation that causes BSE. His wesite is:

You are absolutely right. I must have had a brain fart. I only remember they were putting some of those types of meats into the feeds. Why would anyone feed cattle back to cattle anyway? Like there aren't enough sources for vitamins and protein?

Cheao source of protein, leftovers from the slaughter houses. Easier

then feeding good alfalfa. That's also why feedlot cattle are fed

cardboard, newpaper, old phonebooks, etc. Cheap carbohydrates. I read

a blurb on Eat Wild about feed lots implanting sponges in the rumens

to make up for the lack of fiber in their diets because they are being

fed things like that.
