RE: Certified Organic: What's Behind the Label? Is It Good for Small Farms or Consumers? (DTube Daily Vlog)

in #gardening6 years ago

Huh, never knew about animal protein being banned, thanks for sharing that tidbit. Do you have a prefered animal protein to feed the ladies? We just fed our chickens some fish scraps and they LOVED it, although they have had a tough time ripping carcasses (road kill) open.

I'm so happy you've found folks who believe in and trust the age old system of human to human without a gov't or company in between. This is a crucial link to not only our food system, but also our social structure The organic cert system is certainly NOT geared for folks like us, and I'm happy to hear from you on this topic. ;)

Sort:  

We primarily feed pollock, but do feed any butchering waste except chicken to them. The chicken goes to the pigs.

A side note: fish from the carp family contain an enzyme called thiaminase that is harmful to them.

Woah good to know thanks!!
